“I've spent nearly my entire career in video monetization; from linear TV to large digital publishers and technology companies. Now more than ever, the market is in need of a truly independent measurement and optimization platform. That's why I'm thrilled to be joining VideoAmp at this stage in their growth,” Danzis added.
