9 de enero de 2026
She will be responsible for driving the company’s brand strategy, communications, and go-to-market efforts
Teads, the omnichannel outcomes platform for the open internet, announced that Dani Cushion will join the company as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Cushion will lead and oversee Teads’ global marketing organization and will be responsible for driving the company’s brand strategy, communications, and go-to-market efforts, with the goal of accelerating growth and delivering meaningful results for advertisers, agencies, and publishers worldwide.
Cushion brings a strong track record of building and scaling marketing organizations for high-growth technology companies. Most recently, she served as CMO at Innovid, a leader in CTV, where she helped position the company for its acquisition by Mediaocean. Previously, she was CMO at ExecOnline and Cardlytics, where she supported the company through its successful initial public offering (IPO) and subsequent expansion as a public company. Earlier in her career, as SVP of Marketing at Millennial Media, Cushion played a key role in the company’s IPO, global expansion, and eventual acquisition by AOL/Verizon Media. Her experience also includes roles at SiriusXM, ISL, Millsport/The Marketing Arm (Omnicom), and Major League Soccer, and she is a frequent speaker at high-profile events such as CES, Cannes Lions, Advertising Week New York, Fortune Brainstorm Tech, and the MMA CMO & CEO Summit.
“Dani has a proven ability to translate complex industry dynamics—across both CTV and the open internet—into actionable marketing strategies that drive real business outcomes” said David Kostman, CEO of Teads. “Her impact at some of the industry’s most influential companies speaks for itself. As Teads enters its next phase of growth, Dani’s leadership will accelerate what we can achieve globally as we scale our omnichannel offering.”
“Teads sits at the center of some of the most important innovations in ad tech, especially at a time when CTV continues to evolve, and the opportunity ahead is tremendous,” said Dani Cushion. “With its technology, global scale, and cross-screen reach, Teads is uniquely positioned to help brands and publishers navigate a rapidly changing ecosystem. I’m excited to join at such a pivotal moment and to help define how Teads brings its vision and value proposition to market.”
Cushion’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Teads, as the company continues to evolve its increasingly advanced, outcomes-driven omnichannel platform for advertisers. In November, Teads also welcomed Mollie Spilman as Chief Commercial Officer. In charge of global commercial strategy, Spilman works closely with regional teams and partners to accelerate growth and deepen performance for clients. With expanded capabilities and a growing global footprint, Teads continues to build a leadership team positioned to accelerate innovation, strengthen its market positioning, and create new value for advertisers, agencies, and publishers worldwide.
