Joe (who has an uncanny resemblance and adoration for Bob Dylan) came to us as one of our CU Boulder, MBA interns. He started working on our advertising operations and ad services team and quickly, in one summer, helped to assemble a system and organization to the process. At the end of the summer, here he is, a full-time employee at Lijit (while simultaneously completing his second year at his MBA). Talk about dedicated. Pull up a chair and let’s learn more about Joe, there might even be some “double rainbow” action!
What is your Lijit contribution?
I help roll out our ad services on the publisher side. It’s a lot of fun because I work with so many passionate publishers and help them get paid to do what they love – produce content.
What is your least favorite word and why?
As a business student by night, “networking” is my least favorite word. I think that the idea of networking takes away the human element that is so important in both personal and professional relationships.
What is your favorite sound and why?
The Double Rainbow guy crying. It’s so intense.
What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt and why?
Documentary Filmmaker. I think a great documentary is one of the best ways to influence people about a cause or idea –even better than business or politics. I mean, do you really want to eat a chicken sandwich after you watch Food, Inc.? Neither Bill Gates nor Dick Cheney were ever able to effect my eating habits.

Something you’re guilty of…
Buying a pair of shoes that might not quite fit but just look too cool to pass up!
Scope out Joe online – he can be found on Twitter as @jquaglia (fyi: the “g” is silent) or writing great blog posts here on the Lijit blog.
