SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Dec 04, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Metamarkets, the leader in real-time analytics for online
advertising, announced today two additions to its leadership team.
Jeff Epstein, former Chief Financial Officer of DoubleClick, is
joining the Metamarkets board of directors and Adam Smith, former
Google Ads Product Manager and partner at AOL Ventures, is the new
Vice President of Product.

Venture Partners and a Senior Advisor at Oak Hill Capital. He also
serves on the Boards of Directors at Priceline.com and Shutterstock.
Previously, Mr. Epstein served as CFO of several public and private
companies, including Oracle, DoubleClick (sold to Google), King World
Productions (sold to CBS) and Nielsen's Media Measurement Group. Mr.
Epstein's areas of expertise include cloud computing, internet
advertising technology and consumer internet companies.
