Today, we’re talking with Steve Nash, Director of Product for GumGum, an ad-tech platform that matches brands and consumers through AI-powered data and media solutions.
In this episode, Steve talks about:
- How to tell your CEO that they’re wrong — and not lose your career
- The story behind Playground’s transition to a product-centric culture, and the pace of innovation it unlocked for the team
- Why unifying behind Playground’s mission of being “the attention company” led to their successful exit and acquisition by GumGum
