Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRob Hazan is a product leader and technologist with nine years of focused experience building programmatic ad technologies and monetization products across companies like The Trade Desk, Index Exchange, Google, and AppNexus. He combines hands-on product ownership (notably stewarding widely distributed ad client software and latency/measurement initiatives) with cross-industry standards work at IAB Tech Lab and Prebid, shaping protocols that the entire ecosystem relies on. Known for translating complex ad stack constraints into pragmatic product roadmaps, he leads teams that deliver strong user experiences and measurable business impact. Equally comfortable in strategic advisory roles, he helps startups and service firms optimize programmatic operations and go-to-market strategy. Outside the office he channels the same analytical mindset into motorsports—bringing track-side data engineering experience to his passion for modifying and racing cars.
