Juice Mobile has hired two top-level executives to help drive its expansion into the U.S. and globally: chief financial officer Kevin Dam and chief technology officer Ambles Kwok.

Dam comes from WPP, where he has held dual roles as CFO of Maxus Canada and Xaxis Canada for the past two years. Before that, he worked as a CPA at Ernst & Young for more than a decade.

Kwok, meanwhile, was VP of engineering at Sysomos, a social media analytics firm in Toronto, and before that as director of engineering and analytics at San Francisco-based mobile developer GREE International.

Juice founder and CEO Neil Sweeney said the two newly created positions became necessary as Juice continues to expand into the U.S. and overseas, and its finances and product strategy become more complex.

“In the lifespan of every company, the question becomes when do you need to bring those people in. We’re at that stage now. We’re not a little startup anymore,” he said, adding that Juice now has seven offices globally.

“Increasingly, I’m more focused on the international and U.S. markets, but in order to do that I have to have competent, capable people who can take big chunks of the business and run it.”
