The Trade Desk Strengthens Financial Leadership Through Executive Transition
Nate Olmstead joins the company after serving as CFO at Penguin Solutions. Moreover, he previously worked as CFO at Logitech International S.A. He also spent many years in financial leadership roles at Hewlett Packard Company and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Therefore, The Trade Desk adds deep experience across ad tech, business growth, and corporate finance.
“From our earliest days, The Trade Desk has focused on building for the long term for our clients, our partners, and the broader open internet,” said Jeff Green. “Nate deeply understands that mission and brings the experience, rigor, and leadership to help guide our next phase of growth. I look forward to having him on our leadership team.”
Meanwhile, Tahnil Davis will return to her previous role as Chief Accounting Officer. She served as interim CFO during the transition period. Furthermore, Davis will continue supporting the finance team and work closely with Olmstead.
“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,” said Olmstead. “I’m excited to join the team and help support the company’s consistent growth and profitability in the future.”
Tahnil Davis, who served as interim CFO, will continue to serve as Chief Accounting Officer, the title she held before taking on the interim role.
“I’m very appreciative of Tahnil’s continued commitment to The Trade Desk,” said Jeff Green. “She has been a trusted steward of our finances for over a decade, and I look forward to her continuing to serve as our Chief Accounting Officer and an advisor to both myself and Nate.”
