Lake Trout, Vice President of Advertising in the U.S., comes to ExecDigital.com with 12 years experience as a publishing and sales management executive. Most recently, Lake led the multimedia sales team for the LA Times, responsible for strategic account growth and cultivating business development opportunities. Prior to the LA Times, Lake spent a decade with ATPCo (a Gannett subsidiary), where he directed the company’s broad range of integrated B2B advertising solutions and spearheaded highly successful company initiatives to support acquisition and penetrate global markets. “I’m excited to bring my expertise in B2B trade publishing and global marketing and sales to ExecDigital.com,” says Lake. “I couldn’t have come on board at a better time, as the opportunities are ripe in digital media and I look forward to helping make ExecDigital.com the ultimate business and luxury brand.”
