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.

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.

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.

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

Amera Khalil resides in the great Pacific Northwest, on the north end of Seattle. She's a self-proclaimed lil hippie mama! 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. She had an incredible time working with a team that was a startup when she began and has now transitioned to a well-oiled machine. Amera is eager to be part of a team that is changing the industry and ultimately providing power to the people with transparency, real-time information, and continued innovation!

Amera is fluent in gif speak, has been told her OOTO emails are one of a kind, and absolutely loves to chat with disgruntled clients. She is the middle child in a very large Lebanese family (picture My Big Fat Greek Wedding and times that by three). Amera believes some of the most important things in life are: deep belly laughing, being a real human with all the feels, practicing gratitude—oh, and experiencing nature. Go on! Get outside!

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.

Brett Brawerman

Director of People Empowerment

Mina also loves the fact that Feedonomics is not a place where people put themselves ahead of the team.

Mina lives in sunny Southern California and holds an MBA from Stockholm University in Sweden, where she was born and raised.

As far as hobbies, Mina recently added a new interest—working out on her Peloton—and she also enjoys hiking and spending time with friends.

Conor Hockett

Director of Content

As Director of Content, Conor Hockett works with a team of talented designers and writers to develop the narrative for Feedonomics. He enjoys diving into industry research and trends to develop stories that resonate with our team and customers. Prior to Feedonomics, Conor worked as a Copywriter and Marketing Communications Manager at software companies throughout San Diego County.

In his leadership role at Feedonomics, Conor always strives to Play With Purpose and ask why at every turn. It's not good enough to simply write something that sounds nice if there is no reason behind it. Every action should have purpose, even in a creative position, and Conor strives to have his team work by that same principle.

When he's not developing a new piece of content, Conor loves to play basketball and cheer on his favorite sports teams: the Bengals, Braves, and Tar Heels. A transplant from Indiana, Conor now lives in Encinitas with his wife, Annie.

As an innovator and thought leader, Anthony is always reflecting on the process and looking for ways to improve it. His unique blend of creative and technical backgrounds gives him a broader understanding of the complete marketing ecosystem.

When Anthony isn’t feeling the need for feed, he enjoys playing music, working out, and going on long walks with his wife and their dog, Pete. Anthony is a compassionate leader that always asks for a heart before asking for a hand.

Mark Harnish

Director of Sales Development

As the Director of Sales Development, Mark leads a global team responsible for ensuring customers have a great first touchpoint with Feedonomics and that we forge mutually beneficial relationships with the retailers, brands, and agencies we support.

In his previous role, Mark helped build out Listrak's business development team, which consisted of a group of sales development representatives and sales business analysts. Mark tries to "Play With Purpose," "Embrace Expectations," and improve daily, even if that's just a little step forward. If his two-year-old daughter has taught him anything, it's the power of asking why? Asking why helps improve processes and overall productivity, and Mark believes his team is here to show prospects the why and help them embrace expectations.

Mark was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and he now resides there permanently with his wife, daughter (he has another daughter expected to arrive in a few weeks), and golden retriever, Norman. In his free time, you can typically find Mark on the golf course. Outside of family and golf, he enjoys traveling, eating, ping pong, and cheering for all Philadelphia sports teams.
