About Johnny Tan

Hello! I’ve spent the last six years at StackAdapt building something I’m deeply proud of: a world-class technical inventory program. I started as a data analyst, spending my time in Excel, SQL, Python, and the signals that drive programmatic advertising. Over time, I found my real passion wasn’t just in solving technical puzzles, but in building the teams and systems that could solve them at scale. Today, I lead StackAdapt’s Technical Inventory Program team, where we’ve integrated the majority of our SSP partners, scaled our products across every channel (CTV, DOOH, audio, display, native, video, inventory marketplace), and grown our capabilities from a startup-sized organization to a global one. Along the way, I’ve had the chance to form great partnerships, build awesome technology, and most importantly—coach and develop people, mostly who joined in entry-level roles, and are now shaping the future of our industry, which is something I consider my proudest accomplishment. At my core, I love complex technical challenges, wielding data to solve problems, and building products that last. But what keeps me energized are the people, the culture, relationships, and high-performing teams that make all the work possible.
