Three key executives at The Trade Desk are exiting the company. 

On Tuesday, chief marketer and executive vice president Ian Colley announced he is leaving the publicly traded demand-side platform (DSP) after seven years. Colley is being replaced by Anna Sayre, who has worked on marketing at the company for roughly the same amount of time.

“I’m stepping down from TTD after more than 7 years, in order to pursue an exciting new opportunity that I’ll be able to talk about in a couple of weeks,” Colley told ADWEEK. “We’ve done some incredible marketing work at TTD in recent years, positioning the company as the industry’s leading independent DSP, and in championing the power and value of the open internet.
