Bob Walczak, Jr.

Bob is the founder and CEO of Ringleader. Back in 2005, he was surfing the Zagat site on his mobile phone. While waiting ten seconds for a mobile page to load, it occurred to him that it was a perfect opportunity to serve targeted ads to a captive audience. He tossed the idea around with friends and acquaintances, and no one laughed. So, Ringleader was born.

In 2006, Bob teamed up with Rick Landsman, inventor of online 3rd party ad serving. With their combined expertise in mobile and internet technologies they developed mobile ad formats that changed the way advertisements are served and viewed on mobile phones.

Prior to founding Ringleader, Bob held executive roles with several leading technology companies, most recently serving as Director of Client Services on behalf of Vertrax, a provider of location-based mapping, routing and logistics services for the energy supply industry.

Bob graduated from the University of Denver with a BSBA in Finance and Marketing.
