Our Team
Our Founders
Adam Schoenfeld, CEO and Co-Founder Follow @schoeny 
Adam is the CEO and Co-Founder of Simply Measured. Adam has led Simply Measured to become a well recognized brand in the analytics market, serving 25% of the top 100 global brands and over 50,000 users. He has been quoted on data-related topics in places like Forbes, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb and spoken about measurement and analytics at events around the country. Adam is a two-time entrepreneur, former Analyst and Management Consultant, and a long-time data geek.
Aviel Ginzburg, CPO and Co-Founder Follow @aviel Aviel is co-founder and C3PO (Chief Product Officer + SciFi fan) of Simply Measured. At times in his career he has worked as a software engineer, a designer, and as a marketer. He approaches product development with the fallacy of composition in mind. A finished product’s own nature will not necessarily be represented by that of its parts individually. Before Simply Measured he was one of the first employees at Appature, a rapidly growing marketing solutions platform. He holds a BS in Economics (for no apparent reason) from Vanderbilt University where he spent most of his time studying philosophy and film.
Damon Cortesi, CTO and Co-Founder Follow @dacort Damon is CTO and co-founder of Simply Measured. Passionate about building great teams and great technology, Damon is two-time entrepreneur and has a love affair with pulling in increasingly larger amounts of data. Before Simply Measured, he was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Madrona Venture Group, built several apps on the Twitter platform (including one of the first Twitter statistics sites, TweetStats), and spent ten years as an Information Security and PCI consultant.
