MediaMath, the world’s first and largest “demand side platform” (DSP), today announced that three of the digital advertising and Web infrastructure industries’ most accomplished technology professionals, Vince Li, Jason Evans and Vince Tse, have joined the company. The hires follow MediaMath’s recent adoption of the Netezza TwinFin appliance, and first-to-market real-time bidding integrations in the U.S. and EMEA. All reinforce the company’s commitment to sustain its TerminalOne^TM platform as the premier media trading solution that forward-thinking agencies use to deliver breakthrough branding and performance results.

“We are currently running hundreds of campaigns across 13 billion daily impressions in 23 countries around the world. To support this, we are using hundreds of decisioning variables, across five real-time bidding sources and 15 biddable media sources overall,” says Roland Cozzolino, MediaMath’s Chief Technology Officer. “You can’t deliver this kind of performance to scale without the very best technology talent. Vince Li was one of the key architects of Google/DoubleClick’s DART (NASDAQ:GOOG), Vince Tse was a core contributor to Yahoo’s Right Media platform (NASDAQ:YHOO), and Jason Evans built one of the largest data infrastructures on the planet as an Akamai competitor (NASDAQ:AKAM). It’s this combination of core experience and a bold re-imagining of what is possible that has led to both our client and corporate results.”

Under Jason’s leadership, Panther became the world’s largest privately held content delivery network and was subsequently acquired by CDNetworks in 2008.
