Associate General Counsel, Product and Privacy

VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole selves to work every day.  We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results, and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values.  People who say, "I’ll find a way," instead of saying, "it can’t be done."

At VideoAmp, we believe in challenging advertising paradigms to maximize value for clients. We do this by enabling companies to execute business outcomes across their media investment instead of more traditional media metrics. VideoAmp is the software and data solutions company powering the convergence of linear TV and digital video advertising. Our solutions connect linear TV viewership with addressable data assets to benefit the marketing and media industries. This enables marketers and content owners to holistically plan, transact, and measure deduplicated audiences across digital video, OTT, connected, and linear TV advertising.
