LOS ANGELES, November 18, 2013<\/strong> OpenX Technologies, Inc.

Rob Kramer (general manager, mobile), Jin Yu (vice president, engineering & chief architect), Laura Buchman (vice president, publisher solutions) and Martin Price (senior director, product) join OpenX in newly created roles that will expand the Company\u2019s mobile monetization efforts globally. The new executives bring decades of experience at industry-leading companies developing teams and solutions in mobile advertising. The appointments are effective immediately; all four executives will be based in OpenX\u2019s Los Angeles headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mobile advertising market is still nascent, but the opportunity it presents is immense, and we\u2019re excited to welcome these talented individuals to help us achieve our multiscreen monetization vision,\u201d said John Gentry, president, OpenX. \u201cOpenX\u2019s platform, with its massive scale, infrastructure and advanced monetization technology, gives us the unique ability to maximize publisher yield and enable advertisers to find their audiences at global scale \u2013 regardless of screen. We\u2019re looking forward to leveraging the deep domain and operations experience that Rob, Jin, Laura and Martin each bring to serve our customers and significantly grow the OpenX business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenX provides its full monetization platform \u2013 a global ad exchange with Supply Side Platform technology and digital ad serving \u2013 to its customers across any connected device. A key benefit of the OpenX platform is that it is much more flexible than traditional, mobile-only platforms.

Among OpenX\u2019s mobile customers and partners are leading comScore and mobile first companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Kramer, a respected mobile industry veteran, has spent the past decade developing and managing teams at major mobile companies.

Previously, he developed mobile strategies for VeriSign and m-Qube. He has also contributed to significant industry initiatives through the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) and his chairmanship of the MMA\u2019s Sweepstakes & Promotions Best Practices Committee. At OpenX, Kramer will be focused on building the mobile team and executing the Company\u2019s mobile monetization strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jin Yu comes to OpenX from Portaura, where he was co-founder and chief technology officer, building a location-based big data platform with 95 million social users. Previously, he was at Tiburon, where he built a 50-person engineering team to develop the next-generation, mission-critical enterprise solution for public safety agencies across the country. Early in his career, he spent a number of years at DEC Systems Research Center, where he built the first web browser capable of rendering inline video content. Yu has been a member of various World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working groups, designing and implementing standards for web and mobile, and has received numerous patents in areas of location-based user data and distributed computing. As vice president of engineering and chief architect at OpenX, Yu will oversee the Company\u2019s mobile development and data strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Buchman joins OpenX from leading mobile ad network Mojiva where she led business development for North America. Buchman also has extensive sales leadership experience from previous roles at Lijit, AOL and Yahoo!. She currently is the vice chair of the Business and Revenue Working Group for the Application Developers Alliance and has also served on the Interactive Advertising Bureau\u2019s Network and Exchanges Committee where she was the mobile representative for the Quality Assurance Guidelines initiative. Buchman has been recognized by Business Insider<\/em> as one of The Most Powerful Women in Mobile Advertising<\/em> in both 2012 and 2013. In her new role as vice president, publisher solutions, Buchman will develop and strengthen strategic partnerships with leading mobile companies and publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior director, product, Martin Price, has extensive experience developing mobile products and cloud-based platforms, most recently as co-founder of mobile products company Productsy.
