Tremor Media Names Googler To VP Post

Video ad network Tremor Media on Tuesday named Matthew Corbin to the newly created position of vice president of global platform solutions. In this role, Corbin will be expected to lead executive strategy for the monetization of Tremor Media's video platform and network, focusing on the global scale of processes, systems, partner relationships, as well as product requirements and integrations.

Corbin comes from Google, where he served as head of YouTube's global partnerships and revenue operations for North America, Latin America and EMEA. In this role, Corbin led strategy for media syndication deals on the YouTube platform, and was responsible for the overall global monetization of display advertising.

Corbin originally joined Google through its acquisition of FeedBurner, where he was one of the initial employees and the senior manager of Global Advertising Operations and Client Services.

Tremor serves in-stream and in-banner video ads across a network of over 1,700 mid-tier and premium sites including WWE.com and NYTimes.com. The company has increasingly sought TV ad dollars, which it believes will increasingly migrate online.

In April, Tremor secured $40 million in venture capital funding led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson Growth Fund, with participation from DFJ and Triangle Peak Partners. Canaan Partners, Meritech Capital Partners, and SAP Ventures also participated in this financing.

The company became profitable at the end of last year, doubling the size of its video advertising network from 2009 to 2010.

    Do you no longer do any research before publishing articles? Corbin was never the head of anything at Google or YouTube. Instead he managed a small team of traffickers. The heads of global partnerships, revenue operations and global monetization were different persons who were many levels above Corbin's pay grade. He is a Bernie Madoff in the making, he basically does no real work and is instead focused on lying to get ahead.
