The latest round up of people moves include Nate Olmstead as the new chief financial officer for The Trade Desk.
The Trade Desk has announced Nate Olmstead will be its new chief financial officer.
This comes in the midst of significant executive turbulence for the company, as Olmstead will be the fourth finance head in the last year. Olmstead joins with extensive experience, including as chief financial officer of Logitech and Penguin Solutions.
“The Trade Desk has built a remarkably strong and differentiated business over the past decade, and I admire the commitment to helping shape a better, more open internet,” Olmstead said in a statement.
The company has experienced a number of high-profile exits, including four board members, several senior executives, and three finance heads.
