Steve Pantelick

Steve Pantelick is a seasoned financial executive who has played a pivotal role in PubMatic's growth as a leading independent sell-side advertising technology platform. As CFO, he has been instrumental in guiding the company through its IPO in December 2020, one of the notable AdTech public offerings of that era, and has since helped position PubMatic as a financially disciplined operator in a sector often characterized by volatility and consolidation pressure. Pantelick brings deep experience in finance and operations within the digital media and advertising technology space. Before joining PubMatic, he held senior financial roles at companies operating at the intersection of media and technology, giving him a nuanced understanding of both the business fundamentals and the technical dynamics that drive programmatic advertising markets. His tenure at PubMatic has coincided with significant industry shifts including the deprecation of third-party cookies, the rise of CTV and omnichannel programmatic, and increasing scrutiny of the supply chain. Known for his clear communication of complex financial and operational metrics to investors and analysts, Pantelick has become a recognizable voice representing PubMatic on earnings calls and at investor conferences. His focus on profitability, cash generation, and long-term platform value has helped differentiate PubMatic in a crowded SSP landscape where many competitors have struggled with sustainable unit economics.
