Weatherman and Yang are both adtech and data veterans with experience working together at MoPub, where they grew the mobile advertising startup from $0 to $1 billion in gross revenue before its sale to Twitter in 2013. Weatherman and Yang also worked together most recently to develop and grow the exploratory data analytics platform Facet Data, which sold in September 2021 to a public social media company. At Moloco, they aim to build a cloud platform that provides flexibility, transparency, and control for companies that want to own and operate their own advertising and big data technology stack powered by Moloco’s award-winning machine learning (ML) engine.

Leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning technology, the Moloco ML engine powers Moloco Cloud, a programmatic ad buying platform and the Moloco Retail Media Platform, an ad revenue solution for retailers. Moloco offers scalable infrastructure and proprietary machine learning algorithms based on 1st-party data to optimize performance for any business looking to leverage advertising to grow customers and increase revenue. Businesses in gaming, eCommerce, retail, fintech and delivery services are meeting their growth targets with Moloco.

“The knowledge and experience that Kevin and Herman bring will significantly contribute to our mission of providing the leading ML-based cloud platform for programmatic advertising and marketing,” said Ikkjin Ahn, CEO of Moloco. “They represent our continued commitment to make available to every company the same cutting edge machine learning technology that powers our own programmatic ads business.”

“I look forward to furthering Moloco’s vision of democratizing machine learning through an ad tech platform that provides the scalability, transparency and control that was previously only available to the largest consumer technology companies,” said Weatherman.
