His expertise will be instrumental in expanding our partner ecosystem and delivering even more value to our clients. Under his leadership, we are poised to expand and deepen partnerships that deliver next-level personalized engagement solutions to leading brands across the globe.” 

Dagan’s appointment follows Optimove’s recent announcement of partnerships with Captain Up and Gamanza, marking the industry’s first AI-orchestrated gamification for iGaming and sports betting operators. These partnerships combine Optimove’s AI-powered marketing orchestration with Captain Up’s engagement platform and Gamanza Engage’s loyalty suite, in a best-of-breed solution that sets a new standard for personalized player experiences.

Optimove is a clear market differentiator for any partner. I am looking forward to help Optimove continue to build valuable partnerships that drive measurable success for marketers.” 

As Dagan noted, AI-orchestrated marketing is a hallmark of Optimove. In 2012, Optimove was the first CRM Marketing Platform to natively embed AI to predict customer migrations between lifecycle stages, followed by the launch of OptiBot in 2016. Its most recent innovation, OptiGenie, announced in November 2023, empowers marketers to optimize workflows from insight to creation and orchestration.
