Paul Wenz, Vice President of Business Development

Paul plays a key role at Rocket Fuel by building powerful partnerships with supply-side, brand assurance and first-party data vendors.  He drove the launch of the Platform division, which puts advanced audience targeting and optimization tools in the hands of ad networks and large publishers.

Before Tribal Fusion, Wenz was the Director of Business Development for Nimblefish, contributing to product design and strategy while earning three consecutive Sales Rep of the Year awards selling integrated online/offline marketing systems to major brands like Microsoft, Sony, and Lowe’s.

Previously, Paul co-founded and acted as CEO of BizMailers.com, one of the first companies to provide web enabled sponsored direct marketing, which was later acquired by Lexar Media.

Paul was raised in Satellite Beach, Florida and attended space camp in his youth, which inspired his early career as an engineer and prompted multiple scientific research projects at his tenure with MIT Lincoln Labs. Paul has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Central Florida.
