Global advertising technology leader The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:
TTD) today announced that Dave Pickles will step down as Chief
Technology Officer on September 29, 2023. Pickles will also step
down from his role on the company’s Board of Directors. Although he
is retiring from these day-to-day roles, Pickles will continue as a
long-term advisor to the company.
Along with the company’s CEO, Jeff Green, Pickles co-founded The
Trade Desk in 2009. He joined the Board of Directors in 2021. In
his role as CTO, Pickles has overseen all aspects of the company’s
industry-leading demand-side platform, including engineering,
product innovation and data science. In addition, he has been a
leader in industry-wide initiatives to improve security, privacy
and trust across the digital advertising ecosystem, most recently
with Unified ID 2.0. Over the last two years, he has worked closely
with Sairaj Uddin, SVP of Engineering, and Gruia Pitigoi-Aron, SVP
of Product, as they have assumed these leadership roles, reporting
to Green.
“When Jeff and I founded The Trade Desk 14 years ago, we shared
a vision of a better way to price and buy digital advertising. Our
amazing progress since then is testament to the incredible work of
our product, engineering and data science teams,” said Pickles. “I
could not be more proud of the innovation we are pioneering for our
industry, and I look forward to continuing as an advisor to Jeff,
Sairaj and Gruia and everyone else at The Trade Desk in the years
ahead.”
“In founding and building The Trade Desk into the world’s
largest independent demand-side advertising platform, I could not
have asked for a better partner than Dave,” said Green. “Dave is
one of the true innovators of advertising technology, not only in
service of The Trade Desk, but also more broadly, in helping the
industry move forward with transparency and trust. He leaves behind
an incredibly talented technical leadership team. While I will miss
his day-to-day counsel and contribution, I’m thrilled that he will
continue as a close and valued advisor moving forward.”
