Feedonomics was launched with the vision of creating the leading feed platform in the industry. We have always believed that optimized feeds perform better. Our founders experienced many shortcomings with legacy feed platforms while managing feeds at large advertising agencies. We built something to solve our own problem first, and then realized other advertising agencies and online retailers have the exact same problem.

We worked in direct response to the challenges we experienced in support and the ability to transform data to get the best advertising performance possible in an increasingly Omnichannel world.

“We built something to solve our own problem first, and then realized other advertising agencies and online retailers have the exact same problem.”

Thanks to the hard work of our dedicated FeedFillment™ team and innovative technology, Feedonomics now serves some of the most prolific advertising agencies, brands, and retailers. We believe in creating a strong work culture inspired by everyone in the company. We bring the best of ourselves to create an amazing experience for everyone we work with.

Shawn Lipman

Chief Executive Officer

Shawn is passionate about eCommerce and the role that technology can play in solving very challenging business problems for the world’s largest brands, retailers, and agencies. An accomplished entrepreneur, Shawn employs his talents in leadership and problem solving to create an amazing culture that empowers people. He previously founded and sold a health care company that in 10 years grew to be the contracted provider to some of the largest healthcare chains in the United States.

Shawn is enthusiastic about building strong and enduring culture-based organizations. This appreciation was formed from over 40 years of playing and coaching his beloved sport of rugby at the highest level, including representing the USA in the 1991 Rugby World Cup and being inducted into the US Rugby Hall of Fame. Read more on his Wikipedia page!

His love for ensuring sustainable excellence and world-class performance lends itself to Feedonomics’ embrace and commitment to the Feed On! Principles, principles predicated on Servant Leadership, No Egos, Creating a Learning Environment, Going for the Gap, and Leaders being Teachers, amongst others.

Whether it is his very loud rendition of “Mustang Sally,” riding horses or spending time with his family, Shawn always does everything with maximum effort and commitment.

Colin Madden

Senior Director of Sales

Colin leads all of Sales at Feedonomics. He loves building teams that push each other to be better. Feedonomics’ core values center around how to build this type of team, and prepare yourself mentally every day to help your team succeed. Colin believes the commitment to WE instead of ME is what makes Feedonomics special — because that WE extends to our clients as well.

Colin helps his team Train to Win every day, and works to Create a Learning Environment — he believes his team should be eCommerce experts, not just great sales professionals. One of his favorite benchmarks is, “If your product was free, how much would your clients pay to speak with your team?”

Colin came from ZipRecruiter, one of the world’s leading job boards, where he worked with their Enterprise accounts, high level agencies, and even helped start an HR and Benefits division from scratch within the company.

Patrick Hentschel

Senior Director of Global Accounts

Patrick is Feedonomics’ Senior Director of Global Accounts. He manages strategic relationships with globally recognized brands and retailers. Having joined Feedonomics originally as a data feed analyst, his years of direct hands-on experience with the platform have equipped him to think outside the box in defining solutions to complex data integration challenges.

His favorite Feed On! Principle? Go for the Gap. Seizing on new opportunities, delving into uncharted territory — this is how we grow as professionals and as people. Learning to Embrace Expectations has been crucial to Patrick’s development, as he’s learned that accountability pushes us to become the best version of ourselves.

If you chat with Patrick, he might take the call from a school bus that he converted into an office station overlooking the Pacific Ocean. When he’s not coordinating data integration initiatives from the bus, he’s practicing and teaching yoga, playing with his Siberian Husky, or engaging in local activism work around climate and ecological crises.

Dallas Moore

He brings his experience in communication together with his love of people to create an environment where everyone has a voice and sees the value they bring to those around them.

While his love of singing and escape rooms with friends would make you think he is outgoing, he is a homebody at heart, spending his free time cooking and enjoying hobbies like gardening, knitting, and painting.

Amera Khalil

Director of Global Accounts

While not working, Amera is likely summiting a mountain she has no business being on, attempting to land a handstand, cooking food for the soul and her community, and/or building out a fleet of Sprinter vans.

Amera has spent the last five-and-a-half years working for a company you might be familiar with—Zillow Group! She started as a front-line inbound/outbound call specialist and worked her way through management, into sales, and became one of the largest revenue-producing sales professionals on the travel team, focusing on all things B2B sales.

For the better half of her career, Amera spent most weeks traveling to three different cities, learning how to work on a little laptop screen while sitting on flights, and troubleshooting client issues while in an Uber.

Jeff Buechler

Director of Sales

Jeff Buechler is 50% chronic puzzle solver/game theorist, 50% digital marketing OG, and 25% not great with percentages. He partners with CEOs, CMOs, and digital executives to provide a unique, pan-industry perspective for growing brands and meeting strategic sales and marketing objectives. In his long and storied time, Jeff has worked closely with nearly all of the IRCE 500 to achieve digital hegemony, but he not-so-secretly holds a special fondness and appreciation for an underdog.

Jeff leads two separate sales teams at Feedonomics where he strives to Sacrifice; asking just a bit more so the good can become the great.

When not evangelizing the benefits of Feedonomics, you can find Jeff in the No. 4 seat of his home poker game, in his garage woodworking (where no matter what he starts out building inevitably becomes a badly built bookshelf), or, most importantly, with his family making memories.
