For the year, the company posted revenue of $2.4 billion, a YoY jump of 26%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\"><strong>What happened?<\/strong> \u201cThe reality is that we stumbled due to a series of small execution missteps while simultaneously preparing for the future,\u201d founder and CEO Jeff Green told investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">When asked for clarity, Green said the missteps involve \u201cmistakes that aren&#8217;t appropriate to discuss publicly, especially when people are already learning from these mistakes,\u201d before referencing a slower-than expected rollout of its media buying platform Kokai. Green said the company had implemented a reorg to provide a \u201cmuch clearer view of roles and responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">Green also said the company would go on a hiring spree to \u201cdouble the number of senior leaders in the company at the VP level and above.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\">\u201cWe want to scale The Trade Desk significantly in the years ahead, and that means ensuring we have the right kind of leadership rigor across the company while preserving the best elements of what we&#8217;ve done so well so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-31cb6c8c-8 eOGsFs\"><strong>Zoom out: <\/strong>The Trade Desk is one of the largest ad tech companies not named Google, and in 2024, it captured about $12 billion of industry ad spend.
