CNET, A Red Ventures (RV) company, today announced that Karthic Bala joined the company as executive vice president of data, product and technology. In this newly created role, Bala will combine RV’s proprietary tech innovations with CNET and its family of brand’s scaled, premium media offerings to develop new performance-focused solutions for partners and advertisers.
“RV and CNET’s people, brands and industry-leading technology are second-to-none,” said Bala. “I look forward to expanding RV’s data and tech backbone into a new suite of offerings that will further support CNET’s partner’s performance goals in this volatile environment. CNET’s data and metric-driven goals will reach consumers in ways we have yet to imagine with our current data.”
“RV’s intricate knowledge of user intent is the core differentiator for our portfolio, creating unique opportunities for partners to interact with the audiences we serve,” said Christina Miller, RV’s chief strategy officer. Miller joined Red Ventures from WarnerMedia in 2021 and oversees RV’s portfolio of media, commerce, entertainment and travel brands. “We’re thrilled to bring Karthic’s expertise to an established media company like CNET and revolutionize our data and partner offerings for the future.”
Bala brings a history of business-building innovations and technology solutions to CNET. Previously, as the chief data officer of Conde Nast, he helped guide the transformation of the global media company toward a digital- and customer-centric future, developing proprietary tech that accelerated growth and profitable revenue. Prior to Condé Nast, Bala served as president of the Precision Health Data Institute at Everyday Health and built an advanced analytics platform as a data leader at Viacom.
