At FreeWheel I partner with streaming and CTV publishers (Roku, Samsung, TCL, Bloomberg and others). I don't just fix integration issues: I co-own account strategy, and I use AI tools to speed up client workflows.

Technical depth plus commercial ownership.

Publisher-first, from both sides of the FreeWheel relationship.

202% to goal in my first performance period.
