Bio

Lionel Hahn serves as Chief Revenue Officer at Outbrain, where he leads global revenue operations for one of the internet's most prominent native advertising and content recommendation platforms. In this role, he oversees the company's relationships with premium publishers and performance advertisers, driving monetization across Outbrain's expansive open web network that reaches billions of consumers monthly. Hahn brings significant experience in digital media and advertising technology to his role at Outbrain, with a career that has spanned publisher monetization, demand-side partnerships, and revenue strategy. His work at Outbrain places him at the intersection of content discovery, native advertising, and the evolving programmatic ecosystem, particularly as the industry navigates the deprecation of third-party cookies and the growing importance of contextual targeting solutions. As a senior revenue leader in the native advertising space, Hahn is involved in shaping how Outbrain competes and grows in a landscape that includes rivals such as Taboola and increasingly direct publisher monetization tools. His focus on scaling advertiser and publisher partnerships reflects the dual-sided marketplace dynamics that define content recommendation platforms.
