Summary

A results-driven and strategic AdTech professional with over a decade of experience in programmatic advertising. My career has spanned both the sell-side and buy-side, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of the entire digital advertising ecosystem. From leading technical support for Google's top-tier publishers and architecting full-stack monetization strategies, to managing buy-side programmatic campaigns and fostering key demand partnerships, my focus has always been on maximizing revenue and building sustainable growth. I excel at translating complex data into actionable strategies, forging transparent long-term partnerships, and leveraging a diverse range of platforms including Google Ad Manager, Prebidding, and major buy-side DSPs. My strong technical foundation as a former UI Developer gives me a unique perspective on AdTech development and implementation.
