What Happened?
San Francisco, CA-based AdRoll has Promoted Valentino Volonghi as Chief Technology Officer
About the Company
At AdRoll, it`s our mission to help every business, big or small, turn their customer data into profitable marketing programs. In 2007, three friends—an entrepreneur, a technical prodigy, and a surfing ad tech wizard—saw an opportunity in online advertising: What if the retargeting technology only available to massive companies with equally massive budgets were accessible for companies of all sizes? What if you could make cutting-edge display products both simple and affordable? What if you gave that platform a great UX, transparent reporting, and extensive control over campaigns? They jumped in with both feet and haven`t looked back since.
About the Person
Valentino Volonghi is responsible for the design and implementation of AdRoll’s globally distributed architecture. He is also the president and founder of the Italian Python Association and ran the EuroPython Conference for an unprecedented 3 years from 2011 to 2013. Early in his career, Volonghi (pictured) fell in love with asynchronous network programming. His passion for high-performance networked applications brought him to AdRoll’s attention in 2006, where he designed the first prototype of what would become AdRoll’s front-end. Soon after, Volonghi moved to the US from Italy to work full-time and further develop the product he helped to create. With a team in place, Volonghi went on to design and implement the global infrastructure and algorithms that created the basis for linear and painless business scaling. Volonghi graduated from the Milan Polytechnic University with master’s degrees in eBusiness and IT Management. In his free time, he prepares for triathlons by riding, swimming and running around the Bay Area.
