Michael Holtzman is a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building product-driven engineering organizations and scalable web and mobile platforms. As CTO he blends hands-on engineering—having led real-time data collection and processing at scale for social and advertising products—with strategic leadership that drives product growth and acquisition. He co-founded and sold a social analytics platform to Viacom, has run distributed development teams, and modernized testing and quality practices in open-source projects like supertest. Comfortable from infrastructure to ML/NLP enhancements, he pairs a builder’s willingness to “get hands dirty” with a focus on delivering measurable user and business outcomes. Based in New York, he is equally fluent in enabling operational excellence across enterprise ad-tech and consumer-facing experiences.
