Management Team

Andrew Westmoreland - CEO and Founder

Andrew is ADRevolution's CEO and Founder. He is also the company's chief software architect, and the inventor of its proprietary Natural Intelligence Marketing Engine (NIME).
Andrew developed his first robust software solution while still in high school in Ashland, Oregon. Andrew created a proprietary eCommerce transaction management system, similar to MIVA Merchant. He worked with small and medium-sized businesses to help them integrate their business operations and financial management with his online shopping platform. In working with these businesses, he saw a common thread among their needs: They always wanted more traffic (and thus sales) from high quality sources. This common need is what spurred an investigation into where his clients could find more high quality traffic from sources other than Google and Overture. After seeing the power and scalability of digital media, he decided to build and fund ADRevolution.
Andrew is passionate about building bridges between cutting edge technologies and consumer demand. He is also passionate in his belief that a paradigm shift toward customer-centrism in online marketing will spur the creation of large markets. ADRevolution is leading this shift.
Outside of business, Andrew has two Basset hounds, Ari and Matilda. He finds time when he can for music, including playing bass and keyboard. Andrew is an avid fan of R.E.M., and will engage anyone in discussion and debate regarding who is the best rock band ever.
