About
I'm Greg Mitchell, a data partnerships and technical integrations leader. I've spent 14 years in adtech, identity, data, and martech, usually in the space between the business side and the engineering side. Most recently I led data partnerships and integrations at Path2Response, including the work that put the company's first-party data in the LiveRamp marketplace. Before that I ran a 13-person analytics and data engineering team at Spark Foundry, set up the client-facing solutions function at Aqfer, and spent seven years on measurement and attribution for automotive clients at Korrelate and J.D. Power.
I also build software on my own time, which keeps me close to the technical details I'm asking partners and engineers to deal with. These days most of it involves AI: I build with Cursor and try the newest models on OpenRouter as they come out to see what they're actually good at.
Experience
Director, New Initiatives · Path2Response
Led partner integrations, data distribution, and go-to-market work for a first-party data and direct mail co-op.
- Guided the integration of the company's first-party dataset into the LiveRamp marketplace, opening distribution to more than 50 DSPs and audience platforms and creating a new revenue channel.
- Managed eight data and technology partners, including Merkle/4Cite, Zeta, Skydeo, El Toro, Wunderkind, and Visual Visitor, from evaluation and technical scoping through contracts, launch, and ongoing management. Partner-sourced data volume nearly doubled over two years.
- Created and maintained audience segments in LiveRamp for activation in The Trade Desk, Google DV360, Yahoo DSP, MNTN, and StackAdapt, and expanded distribution through Skydeo (including Meta) and Eyeota.
- Cut client onboarding from more than seven days to one business day with a redesigned process, automation, and clearer ownership.
- Owned partner and client escalations, including root-cause analysis and resolution.
- Built internal tools with Cursor and OpenRouter, including a pixel-monitoring tool for tag operations.
- Hired and mentored three team members.
Director of Analytics · Spark Foundry
Led a 13-person remote team handling analytics, data engineering, infrastructure, and measurement for a large pharmaceutical client.
- Was the senior relationship lead across client, media, analytics, and engineering stakeholders, covering executive communication, quarterly business reviews, and escalations.
- Led the migration from fragmented legacy systems to a centralized AWS environment, which improved reliability, scalability, and measurement.

Early-stage enterprise data platform serving adtech and martech use cases. Established the client-facing solutions function.
- Led solution design and relationship management for 12 enterprise clients, including Acxiom, U.S. Bank, MLB, and Vevo.
- Ran client discovery and solution scoping as the technical lead, translating business needs into technical requirements.
- Designed client-specific data integration workflows and worked with engineering to turn recurring needs into reusable product capabilities.
- Wrote SQL, including CTAS queries, to extract platform data and produce flat-file outputs for clients.
- Set up delivery processes, ticketing, and QA standards that let the team grow without adding headcount at the same pace.
Data Operations Engineer · Goodway Group

Lead Data Analyst & Solutions Manager · Korrelate / J.D. Power
Korrelate was a marketing measurement startup. Joined during its early-stage growth and remained through the 2014 acquisition by J.D. Power. Managed measurement and attribution engagements for more than 30 automotive clients, including tier-1 manufacturers and dealer groups.
- Worked on Korrelate's patented double-blind matching system, an early version of what the industry now calls a clean room, which connected online advertising and website activity to vehicle purchases while keeping consumer identities private.
- With no playbook yet for using this kind of data, designed the client-facing outputs from scratch so the results were easy to understand and act on.
- Turned each client's results into monthly executive summaries that leadership could read quickly and use.
- Served as the primary relationship owner for enterprise automotive accounts, turning business goals into technical measurement solutions.
- Managed tracking pixel implementations across OEM and dealer websites, coordinating clients, advertising partners, analytics, and engineering.
