Inuvo Inc. (NYSE American: INUV) announced the nomination of Sanja Partalo for election to its board of directors at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

Partalo serves as Co-Founder and General Partner of S4S Ventures, where she invests in companies developing advertising and media technologies. She previously held senior positions at WPP, most recently as EVP, Global Head of Strategic Development & Partnerships, where she managed strategic relationships with technology platforms including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce, Snap, and ByteDance.

"Sanja has consistently been at the forefront of where the marketing industry is going—identifying not just trends, but the underlying systems that power them," said Rob Buchner, CEO and Chairman of Inuvo.

During her tenure at WPP, Partalo oversaw a multi-billion-dollar partnership portfolio. She has also supported companies across artificial intelligence, identity infrastructure, and advertising technology sectors, including Runway, ID5, Gimlet, Within, Captiv8, and tvScientific. She currently serves on boards of venture-backed companies in the United States and Europe.

Partalo holds an MBA from Columbia Business School, where she has served as a Lecturer and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Marketing, Media & Technology.

"The next phase of this industry will be defined by companies that rethink how media investment decisions are made at a foundational level—not by optimizing legacy systems," Partalo stated.

Inuvo develops artificial intelligence technology for advertising, including its IntentKey AI system that the company describes as capable of identifying customer engagement based on real-time media consumption. The company's models update every five minutes and operate without relying on consumer identification data.
