This technology allows consumers to make purchases directly at the point of inspiration, creating a more continuous and engaging experience for users. It offers benefits for publishers in the form of increased user time on-site and provides a closed-loop attribution solution for brands.

Expressing his excitement about joining Vudoo, Raj Chauhan said, "I am thrilled to join Vudoo and lead our expansion efforts in the Americas. The sales funnel is collapsing and consumers are ready for choices to shop seamlessly on the open web. Our goal is to empower the ecosystem with tools to enable this shopping experience using our one-of-a-kind commerce platform with closed-loop attribution. Vudoo's technology is transforming the shopping experience for brands, publishers, and their customers. I am excited to bring this category-defining commerce platform to the market."
