Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Belong at Mediaocean

It is not enough for us to have diverse representation throughout all levels of the organization.

Our true strength and value shine when our team members feel there is space in the conversation for all voices, perspectives, ideas, and concerns.

Fundamental tenets

Diversity

We are committed to bringing different people together to explore the richness of the differences, both visible and non-visible, that make each of us unique. The diversity of our team fuels our ongoing innovation.

Equity

From hiring to retirement, we strive to ensure that our practices and systems are fair, reduce the risks of bias, and are supportive of our team members' career aspirations.

Inclusion

We value and leverage each individual's uniqueness to drive results. We encourage team members to be curious, to challenge beliefs, and to be courageous in action.

DE&I in Engineering at Mediaocean

Join Aaron Goldman at the Virtual Water Cooler for a conversation with Shelby Camilleri, Anthony Guzman, and Thonda Taylor II about the paths that led them to engineering at Mediaocean and how we're working to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion among our development team.

Nydia Ferguson
Customer Experience Analyst

Nydia works to help clients understand the Mediaocean platform and troubleshoot problems. Her career tends towards helper roles in training, operations, sales and customer experience. She loves working at Mediaocean for the genuineness of her coworkers and their sense of fun. Nydia is a co-leader of the Black Employees of Mediaocean (BEMO) employee resource group, and says, “I am excited to help Mediaocean in its effort to build a more diverse team. DEI is important for creating opportunities to promote and develop underrepresented groups in the workforce. I hope to see more women of color in technology because representation matters!” Nydia is passionate about food and family and has two sons born on the same day 20 years apart!

Anthony Guzman
Director, Development, New Jersey

Anthony is responsible for maintenance and development of several systems in the Mediaocean platform. His education is in accounting, and he used computer science classes for stress relief! He loves working at Mediaocean for the opportunities to evolve and learn. Anthony says, “We are all charged with a single idea of making this place better than the one we inherited. We all make choices every day with our thoughts, actions, and words. We can debate two-sided issues; two viable differences of opinion. Hate is a one-sided issue, injustice is a one-sided issue, equality is a one-sided issue. No one should choose hate, no one should choose injustice, no one should choose inequality.” He is passionate about mathematics, live music, and Phi Beta Sigma. He once postponed surgery to attend a Prince concert.

Senior Director Customer Experience, New York

John has worked at Mediaocean for over 20 years, working with clients and partners to manage data and technology integrations with the Mediaocean platform. He was a history major back in the day, but his love of tinkering led him to a technology focus. John says, “No one person or group has a monopoly on good ideas. The more diverse a team is the better solutions are developed. That is why I enjoy my co-workers at Mediaocean, they accept my beliefs and background, understand my military service, and offer a unique outlook on the road ahead that we will travel together.” John is a proud member of the U.S. Army Reserves, has a half-built (life-size) R2D2, is terrified of heights, and used to work on Wall Street.

Aparna’s many hats include shepherding quality deliverables for the Mediaocean platform, fostering the development and culture of the team in the Pune office, and mentoring and coaching upcoming leaders. Aparna says DE&I is more than policies and programs. When employees feel their ideas, presence, or contributions are truly valued and taken seriously, there is deeper trust and more commitment from employees. Aparna loves being outside, especially in the mountains of the Himalayas and the Alps. Somewhere there is a film of her making an emergency paraglider landing during a sudden mountain storm

Brandon says, “We are on the precipice of greatness not only with Mediaocean but with the way the world is changing and that starts with DE&I. I want to make sure that we as a brand stay authentic to how we bring people together across continents and encourage uniqueness and fresh ideas every day.” When not working, you may find him cooking new meals or taking a trip down memory lane with the Golden Girls.
