Infersystems is one of the leading independent suppliers of automated bid management systems to programmatic buying platforms including both RTB and mobile. Infersystems provides game-changing enterprise grade software that chews through big data in impression logs to make digital campaigns perform at scale like never before. InferSystems’ unique science, based on multiple inventions in non-parametric statistics, supports a wide variety of optimization challenges across the ad tech ecosystem. I was successful signing up new clients across multiple channels including display, mobile web, in app and even offline. As president and cofounder I was very involved in most aspects of the business including sales, fundraising, product management, pricing, networking, marketing and public relations. Although I did some business development in both the Indian and Chinese markets, most of my time was split between New York, San Fransisco and Toronto.Infersystems DSP clients paid a revshare (againt monthly minimums) equivalent to 30% of the incremental net margin captured by Infer's optimized buying rules ... plus they covered any infrastructure costs. This pricing model was very profitable because Infersystems typical DSP client would make an average margin of 75% on the 22%-28% of their total impression volume ie. the impression that were won bidding with Infer rules.Infersystems was acquired by Kochava in February 2015. Kochava's soon to be released Optimization Beacon will utilize Infersystems to enable mobile advertisers to provide automatic buying recommendations to mobile networks that are doing their in app user acquisition.

Launched a new concept for a big box small order metal centre and online web store with my father. My father became ill and I ended up running the operation. I generated 60% average annual growth before selling the company to Airport Steel in an all cash deal.I was most proud of my success negotiating consignment deals on 90% of the product One Source stocked in its big box warehouse. I convinced our suppliers they would make more money making one large shipment per week than having our pick up trucks hit their loading docks several times a day.
