DoubleClick Alumni

I remember working with Andrew LaVallee — he’s now a WSJ talking head!

A few now ex-Clickers have left the building, both with steeped experience with DART Enterprise. Shawn Lim and Ameet Bharwani have both set sail from the mothership. Ameet has been off DE for some time, but Shawn kept that boat afloat for a looooong time..

Bon Voyage!

P.S. Shawn has a new gig, I’ll update once public. Ameet is taking some time..

Denied AdMob, Apple Buys Competing Ad Platform Quattro Wireless For $275 Million.. I won’t ask Lynn for comment, but as CMO, I assume she’s in the know

DataXu Expands Team, adding Steve Golus to their roster. Quite a match!  Good luck Steve.  I hope their brussel sprouts are delicious!

Is this the best picture out there?

Welcome to Silicon Alley

The Gilt team. I knew Kevin was behind it, and after reading about them in a recent BusinessWeek, I checked out the site. Dwight had invited me “over the wall.” I checked out the exec team and sure enough, Melanie Hughes was the head of HR. I dress way too casual to ever work there, and even browsing the site, I felt lost. But, luckily for them, the rest of the free world, loves what they do.

Silicon Alley has it’s latest Top 100… there’s just one ex-Clicker that I could find, way to go Court. I guess they left off KR due to conflicts, but nobody else? DR?

Steve Golus, “Gol-ie” has landed at DataXu and a more perfect union is hard to imagine.  Congrats Steve.

A few months ago, I caught up with Dave Adams (he and I are overdue for another, but that notwithstanding), who is now over at Waterfront Media.  And then last night I got an email that Deb (do I need to call her Deborah?  She, technically, can’t fire me any longer, so maybe I should just keep it) Josephs had also joined Waterfront Media, as SVP HR – congrats to Deb!

Update: OK, my facts were stale, Dave split Waterfront.. back to CBS?  Nope, he went to VEVO.

Speaking of ex-Clicker reunions.. Over at Datran Media, Norm Page, Scott Knoll, and Johanna Shalhoub are all employed..

Lastly, Ari is now a total A-lister.. nice press here for the YouTube monetization success story

I caught wind today that Steve Cohn, formerly of DoubleClick business operations (he worked for Neal & Chris, as memory serves), is now over at Quantcast.. I did about :30 worth of research and noticed that David is on their advisory board. That’s cool..
