“Neil’s insights from his time on the Board and decade-long relationship with the company from his roles at Sizmek, DG, and Havas Edge have given him a deep understanding of all aspects of the business, ensuring the opportunity for a seamless transition,” said Joe Zawadzki. “I am confident that Neil is the right leader for MediaMath in this next phase to deliver on the promise of the platform and the business.”

Mr. Nguyen is a proven leader with more than two decades of senior management experience in advertising technology and media, including previous Chief Executive Officer and President roles at DG and Sizmek both in public markets and with sales to private equity in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

Most recently, Mr. Nguyen spent several years as Global CDO at Havas Edge, with responsibility for digital media, programmatic trading, analytics, data science and technology for its outcomes-based linear and CTV media practice. He brings a multi-faceted perspective on the advertising ecosystem, not just as a leader of Ad-Tech companies, but from the agency and marketer lens as well.

“I am honored to take on the role of Chief Executive Officer during such a key growth opportunity for the business. I look forward to working with the teams and partners across the globe to accelerate top-line growth, achieve greater market share, and expand MediaMath’s position by delivering world-class service and technology solutions to our clients to help them improve the return on their digital ad spend and achieve their business goals,” said Neil Nguyen. “I am humbled to take the reins from Joe, a visionary leader who brings true passion to our business today and tomorrow, and from Konrad, a transformational operating executive.
