About Us

Chartboost

WHAT WE DO:

The Chartboost platform helps mobile game publishers make more money by making it easy to manage and optimize the yield of their in-game advertising so they can focus on doing what they love: building great games. Today our platform does a few things:

  • Empower publishers to cross promote their own games - so they can effectively drive users that are playing one of their games to try others. We do this for free.
  • We connect all of our publishers together in one network so they can cut deals with each other to cross-promote their games to each other through our Direct Deals Marketplace. Direct deals enable publishers acquire new users for much less than the commissions they pay to ad networks, often 50% of revenue!
  • When not cross promoting or doing deals, publishers can use Chartboost to monetize unused "remnant" inventory to make some extra cash through a push-button interface that gives publishers complete control of what’s shown to their users.

We’re just getting started and we’re extending the platform to make it even easier for publishers to improve their user experience and fuel the success of their games.

Meet the Team

Sean Fannan
CO-FOUNDER & CTO
Sean built the backend for Tap Tap Revenge and executed millions of dollars in installs and advertising campaigns. Sean makes things work, period. In his "free time" he plays golf and is re-learning Chinese.
Maria Alegre
CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Maria has extensive experience in launching apps, reaching the ranks, optimizing advertising, in-app commerce and the money-making magic that happens in the App Store. She hails from Barcelona and rides a scooter.
Jamie Evans
BIZ DEV MANAGER
As a Product Marketing Manager at Tapulous, Jamie launched over 10 apps in the Tap Tap Revenge series, sending most to the top of the App Store charts. When she's not holding things down at Chartboost, you can find her relaxing with her two furry mutts on the sunny side of the Bay.
Kenneth Ballenegger
ARCHITECT
Originally from Lausanne, Switzerland, Kenneth moved to the Bay Area to work as a developer. When he's not busy building the next big thing, he does graphic design and hangs out in trendy San Francisco night spots.
Cori Savaiano
NERF DART CHAMPION
Cori found her way to Chartboost after graduating from Reed College. After spending a year "researching" the U.S. beer industry for her senior thesis, she has managed to adapt those "research" skills to mobile games.
Zach Allia
ADVISOR & CAT PHOTOGRAPHER
Zach has worked on a number of popular titles on web & mobile platforms. He independently built Free Gifts, a chart topping application on Facebook. He played a primary role in creating and developing the social platform that powers Tapulous' Tap Tap Revenge series of games.
Pepe Agell
BIZ DEV MANAGER
Pepe can speak almost a million languages. If you see him walking towards you on the street, you'll be so intimidated that you've probably already started running.
Tiffany Owyang
EVERYTHING BUSINESS
Tiffany is a recent college graduate, ready to blast off in this exciting and evolving industry. She plans to help mold Chartboost into a more amazing platform through supporting her colleges and amazing clients. Carpe Diem is her motto and she is ready to seize every opportunity that comes her way!
Ed Williams
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Ed <3 games, and food. If you get him a new video game and a Hashbrown Pie, he'll do pretty much whatever you want. Ed also collects electric vehicles.
Flavien Bessede
ANALYTICS ENGINEER
Coming from the castles high atop the Chamechaude mountains, Flavien fends off intruders of the Chartboost office with fresh baked baguettes. Don't mess with him, you might get toasted.
Mark Kinsella
SOFTWARE EVANGELIST
Mark is wearing a shirt. Sometimes he wears two shirts, but you can't tell that there's one underneath. These developer types are so cunning!
Sohail Prasad
ENGINEER
Originally from Texas, Sohail came to the Bay Area once and never looked back. Before Chartboost he talked to computers at Google and learned a thing or two at Carnegie Mellon, but you can still find him hustling his latest hacks around the city during his free time.
Kneyght Barker
PUBLISHER RELATIONS MANAGER
Kneyght leaps across rooftops when not toiling in the depths of emails. He apprenticed under (literally) the finest roof-leapers while attending NYU. After graduating, he returned to CA to launch a series of successful apps at Disney Mobile. H3 c@N aL$0 7Yp3 lIk3 7hi5.
Claire Teter
PUBLISHER ANALYST
A southern transplant from North Carolina, Claire is planning to apply for her California citizenship as soon as she buys a Prius and learns how to snowboard. Back in the day she was an intern at Tapulous/Disney Mobile, and most recently worked on an iPad e-reading app. She really likes snickerdoodles (hint, hint).
