Uber’s Top Ad Exec Kristi Argyilan Joins The Trade Desk as Chief Commercial Officer

Meanwhile, a string of top leaders have exited the company in recent months, including Sims and Colley as well as chief revenue officer Anders Mortensen, chief strategy officer Samantha Jacobson, chief financial officer Alex Kayyal, and three board members. 

Now, the company said in today’s press release, The Trade Desk is entering “its next phase of growth.”

“The leaders we’ve welcomed over the past month bring world-class experience, fresh perspectives and an unwavering commitment to our customers,” Green said. “As AI transforms advertising and the open internet enters its next phase of growth, their leadership will help ensure we continue building the products, partnerships and capabilities our clients need to succeed for years to come.”

Argyilan will have her work cut out for her; The Trade Desk has in recent months undergone high-profile scuffles with clients and platform partners, reworked its platform, and seen its financial growth plateau. It was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 in 2025.

Both Argyilan and The Trade Desk declined to comment beyond the press release.
