“Technology has dramatically changed the TV landscape, and I couldn’t be more excited to join tvScientific as the company drives innovation and performance for advertisers of every description,” Riedy said. “tvScientific is redefining what’s possible with CTV advertising, having the opportunity to combine an incredibly creative medium – TV Advertising – with precise targeting and one-to-one outcomes is exactly what advertisers of all shapes and sizes are looking for. I count myself very fortunate to be a part of it.”

Riedy joins tvScientific amidst the ongoing transition of the $72 billion TV advertising market to programmatic execution, as technologies emerge that enable the buying and measurement of TV advertising in a manner similar to the $200 billion search and social media market. CTV advertising is expected to grow by 22.4% globally in 2024 to $25.9 billion, according to GroupM’s mid-year forecast.

“Chris is uniquely qualified to drive tvScientific’s go-to-market strategy and execution into our next stage of growth,” said Jason Fairchild, CEO. “His relationships across the industry, as well as his 25-year track record of growing teams from early stages to billions per year in revenue, is exactly the right fit for tvScientific.”

Prior to his time at Twitter, Riedy led business development, strategy and product marketing at a variety of venture-backed startups.
