Kara joined the Rubicon Project in the fall of 2007 to lead the company’s marketing efforts. A true Internet “old-timer,” Kara's career in digital media began 1993, when she joined the team building Tripod.com in a friend’s dorm room at Williams College. Along with her marketing experience she brings extensive experience in start-up capitalization and strategic development to the Rubicon Project, her fifth digital media startup.

She came to the Rubicon Project from Mogopop, a mobile media company, which she co-founded in 2005. Prior to Mogopop she oversaw marketing for Talking Panda, an iPod app development company. Kara was part of the founding team at Tripod.com, a personal-publishing company that produced one of the most popular sites on the Web during the 1990s. At Tripod she oversaw all aspects of communications and brand marketing, culminating with the company's acquisition by Lycos in early 1998. After spending a year at Lycos working on cross-brand communications and marketing, she became Vice President of Marketing at Streetmail, a publisher of local news via subscription-based email newsletters; that company was acquired in 2001 by Waterfront Media.

Kara lives in Los Angeles, was married in North Carolina, lived in New York (after a brief stint in Cleveland), went to college in Massachusetts and grew up in Pittsburgh. While her hockey skates have a lot of dust on them, she promises to lace them up and re-live her glory days on the Williams College ice once she finds a rink in LA...
