About | Otilia Otlacan

I’m Otilia Otlacan: ad tech industry long-timer, specialized in web monetization and digital operations strategy.

With over 10 years’ experience in project-driven environments ranging from small startups to large corporations such as Google and Facebook, I am now active on two fronts:

My work at AAX, where I lead operations and help publishers, advertisers, and ad tech vendors to work at scale with the Acceptable Ads initiative;

Otilia.pro, where I work with pro-bono clients and advise digital startups in all stages.

I previously published and edited Ad Tech Daily (initially called Ad Ops Online), a news publication I founded in 2008 that covers the ad tech industry, featuring over 11,000 news pieces, insights, commentaries.

To find our more about me, see the timeline and FAQs below, or contact me straight away.

Thank you!
