Formerly at Cox Digital Solutions (previously Adify, and acquired by Cox Media Group in 2008) he acted as an adviser, consultant, and problem solver to help partners develop, launch, and scale their vertical ad networks throughout each key component of their go-to-market strategy. Cox Digital Solutions provides compelling solutions connecting advertisers with engaged users and publishers with quality brands.
