As Chief Executive Officer of GumGum, the leading contextual intelligence company, Phil Schraeder believes that we don’t need to know who people are in order to deliver relevant, engaging and effective digital advertising. As the CEO, he is responsible for GumGum’s success in leading the industry in privacy-first, contextual intelligence technologies based on a consumer’s mindset, and not their personal data.

An advocate for LGBTQ+ equality, Phil lives by the mantra, “Don’t spend time with anyone or anywhere you can’t be your authentic self.”
GumGum is a contextual-first, global digital advertising platform that captures people’s attention, without the use of personal data.
