Video advertising network YuMe is bringing in a Canadian to run the place: Montreal-born Michael Mathieu, a former President at Freedom Communications, showed up for work today as CEO, we hear.
Founding CEO Jayant Kadambi, who took the company through two rounds of financing and a big partnership with Microsoft, has stepped down to the President position. That Microsoft deal brings YuMe video ads to cover excess inventory across Microsoft sites.
Comscore says 134 million people view their ads monthly.

There goes the neighbouuuuurhood. Deadpool ETA.
Dude, you always crack me up with your Canada bashing mission everywhere you go. You truly remind me of those big burly guys bashing on gay people, but who in fact are longing for a love stick of their own.
add them to the deadpool!
“add them to the deadpool!”

YuMe, is a Microsoft startup company. They made a YCombinator type program in order to make sure that some people would use IIS, .NET and windows technologies in web startups. After PHP and LAMP dominated a couple years back MS tech became obscure and this was part of their response.
Microsoft is now largely fueled by execs in Montreal where they are creating a sort of exec incubator, so this is hardly surprising.
So while I would like to think they are going to deadpool, the reality is that they could be the worst money pit in the world, and they will never exhaust the Bill Gates pocketbook.
Some Americans are so fucking ignorant, its great, reminds me why I love living in Canada
I would say Canadians are the most ignorant people of all and it would be 100% true but then I would give into a poor Canadian’s attempt at starting a flame war so I won’t.
Don’t mind Chris Rondot, aka “BeerCo” aka “Chris R” aka “Techlusive”.
He’s a known troll around these parts. Especially when the topic of Canada comes up (he also vehemently hates most other countries too). His hatred for Canada seems to be related to his *failed* efforts to start a company here.
He’s also a little unstable and likes to stretch the truth.
So, how’s your “Google killer” search engine coming along there Chris?
Go take you meds….NOW!
I’m Canadian and i totally agree!!! God we are so arrogant and full of ourselves. the jean wearing atmosphere is non-existent here!

Hi Shira,
Good on you for giving props to Mr Michael Mathieu.
I like to remember my roots too, but here in Australia I suspect it means something different to what you meant?
