Our Team — AdQuire

Eric O’Neill

CEO AND CO-FOUNDER

Eric brings over 25 years of leadership experience in digital advertising to drive AdQuire’s product growth and development, customer acquisition, and team management. Always seeking win/win scenarios, Eric draws on his core values of integrity, trust, and loyalty to garner long-term partnerships with AdQuire’s clients, strategic partners, and employees. Through his leadership and constant mission to drive results, Eric has steered AdQuire to its earned reputation as the leader in customer acquisition marketing and post-transaction monetization solutions—and most importantly, a company you enjoy working with.

Prior to launching AdQuire, Eric ran east coast sales at Net2phone (now part of Zeta Global) and Mail.com (ETR: UTDI). He was also the first employee at Music Vision, where he helped scale the company to thirty employees within a year. These positions provided invaluable experiences in new customer generation, operational management, strategic planning and execution, product development, leadership, growth, and a keen focus on customer service and success.

When he isn’t working on AdQuire, Eric cherishes spending time with his three incredible daughters, who are as active as he is. They love doing outdoor activities together, especially skiing, biking, and playing with Kaia, their Alaskan Klee Kai. And among many other interests, Eric enjoys playing golf, mountain biking, and big mountain skiing.

Doug O’Neill

COO AND CO-FOUNDER

As AdQuire’s Chief Operating Officer, Doug manages the company’s technical vision and day-to-day operations, including product development and the AdQuire Business Development Team. Like his brother Eric, he takes a tremendous amount of pride in the way that AdQuire and its team have grown while ensuring that clients, partners, and consumers get the world class services, results, and experiences they deserve.

Prior to co-founding AdQuire, Doug was the VP of Product Management at Gemini Voice Solutions (formerly PhoneFree.com), Director of Product Management for nCube’s video-on-demand solutions, and draws on past experiences in software, product and business development.

When he isn’t growing AdQuire, Doug loves skiing and exploring mountain bike trails with his wife and two boys, playing guitar in local bands, and struggling (with fleeting success) to attain a single-digit golf handicap.
