Michael Nevins

Michael Nevins leads product management for Google Ad Manager, Google's flagship publisher ad server and programmatic advertising platform used by publishers globally. In this senior leadership role, he is responsible for shaping the product direction of a platform that sits at the center of digital advertising infrastructure, influencing how publishers of all sizes manage inventory, connect with demand sources, and optimize revenue through programmatic channels. Nevins operates at a critical juncture in the AdTech industry, guiding Google Ad Manager's evolution in response to major structural shifts including the deprecation of third-party cookies, the rise of first-party data strategies, header bidding maturation, and tightening privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. His product decisions have broad downstream implications for publishers, advertisers, and the broader open web ecosystem given Google Ad Manager's dominant market position. With extensive experience in the AdTech ecosystem, Nevins brings a deep understanding of publisher monetization challenges and the technical complexity of modern programmatic infrastructure.
