LOS ANGELES, CA – The Trade Desk, Inc., a global demand-side platform in real-time bidding, was named for the second year in a row as one of the Best Places to Work in New York City. The survey and awards program identifies, recognizes, and honors the best employers in New York City, benefiting the city’s economy, workforce and businesses. Crain’s New York Business launched the recognition program eight years ago, and today, it is a joint effort of Crain’s New York Business and Best Companies Group. This year’s list is comprised of 100 companies.

“We’re immensely proud of being named to this prestigious list for a second year,” said Jeff Green, founder and CEO of The Trade Desk. “We doubled our headcount in our New York office while expanding at a similar pace worldwide, and it’s a testament to the character and culture of our team that we could retain high satisfaction while scaling globally.”

The company’s New York-based Recruiting Director Kayla Vatalaro agreed, saying, “We’ve challenged ourselves to find the brightest, hardest-working talent to drive the industry forward, and it’s no small task. We’re thrilled to be recognized for our incredible culture, and we join the team in celebrating this award for a second year.”
