Professional Journey

Sasson came to OpenWeb from PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he was a Senior Manager. He joined in 2017 as Vice President of Finance, two years after Nadav Shoval and Ishay Green founded the company as Spot.IM, and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in 2018.

As CFO he also ran corporate strategy, and he led the deals that took OpenWeb beyond comment hosting and into advertising. In 2022 it bought Hive, an engagement platform, and Adyoulike, a global advertising platform. Jeeng, an audience management and newsletter monetisation business, followed in early 2023. Over the same period OpenWeb raised large growth rounds, including a Series F in November 2022 that valued it at $1.5 billion.

In March 2023 OpenWeb promoted him to President and appointed him to its board of directors. The company said he had spearheaded both its acquisitions and its strategic relationships with major publishers. He kept the CFO role, and the company now lists him as President and Chief Financial Officer.

He has held the role through changes in leadership above him. Tim Harvey became interim CEO in September 2024, and Jim Daily, formerly North American CEO and Global President of Teads, took over as chief executive in April 2025. Sasson’s remit includes the publisher side of the business: when OpenWeb hired Steven Goldberg as SVP of Partner Success in November 2024, the company said he would report to Sasson. In 2025 and 2026 he appeared among OpenWeb’s senior team at CES and Cannes Lions, and the company quoted him as its President in June 2026 on how publishers can turn World Cup traffic into lasting communities.
