AdTechGod Pod AdTechGod, The AdTech God

We are thrilled to introduce our guest, Jay Sears a distinguished figure in the advertising technology industry. With an impressive background that includes pivotal roles at the Rubicon Project, Contextweb and Iab.
Jays expertise is well recognized. However, today’s conversation takes a different turn, focusing on a cause close to his heart.
A few weeks ago, Jay reached out with the desire to share about Team Daya, a charity he’s passionately involved with. After looking into what Team Dayā stands for, I was compelled by the remarkable transition Jay has made from ad tech to philanthropy.
Team Dayā is supported by influential figures like Nicolle Pangis, formerly of Ampersand, Lauren Rose from OpenWeb and Jaryd Knutsen from TrustX and many many more.
Just a disclosure that I am not personally involved in this charity but rather am having him here as a gesture of goodwill.
Enjoy the episode!
