John Hughes, Co-founder and President of Products

John is the technical lead and product visionary for TubeMogul. While at Haas with Brett, John envisioned and created the online video promotion platform that eventually became OneLoad.com, a service with over 300,000 users. John is also responsible for architecting and building the world's first video demand-side platform (DSP), TubeMogul PlayTime. At last count, the application scans over four billion ad opportunities per day and selects only the most relevant brand impressions. The PlayTime platform is widely regarded as a gold standard for video DSPs. John holds an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and a BS from Penn State University. Prior to TubeMogul, John held product management positions at Adobe Systems and Gateway Inc. Offline John is an avid woodworker and gardener.
