Peter McCormick has been named Executive Chairman of the Board for Cheetah Digital. Sameer Kazi, who served as Executive Vice President at ExactTarget and Salesforce.com, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Experian CCM’s Global President, Matt Seeley, will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer.

“We are deeply committed to providing CCM’s customers with the same level of high-quality solutions and services that they have been experiencing for many years,” said Peter McCormick, Executive Chairman of Cheetah Digital. “We are confident that with our domain expertise and dedication to R&D, Cheetah Digital will become the leading, global SaaS marketing platform for the enterprise.”
