AudienceScience (formerly Revenue Science) has hired former Financial Times sales head Stuart Colman as the new head of European operations. He replaces Jeremy Mason, who returns to AudienceScience's Seattle-based headquarters.

Colman will be responsible for growing the company's European publisher and agency partnerships, managing the team that supports the partner relationships, driving the strategic direction of AudienceScience in Europe, and continuing AudienceScience's strong industry involvement.

Previously, Colman was at emedia, a pioneering e-mail marketing firm. After four years, in which he was integral to the dramatic growth and development of both the product and value proposition, he moved into the role of agency account manager for the Financial Times, focusing on its Web property, FT.com. He soon became U.K. Group Head and was responsible for significant revenue growth as well as the expansion of the digital sales team. Colman became head of digital sales for the EMEA region in 2007. During this time, he oversaw the introduction of specific digital representation for FT.com in Paris, Manchester and Frankfurt as well as continuing the growth of the London team.--Tanya Irwin
