I had no money when I started the company.
It was $160 million, which is the size of many IPOs.
I'm ready to roll.
Yeah, so think of ISPD as a holding company, no different than WPP, Publicis, Omnicom, where it's a holding company for a global marketing services firm.
And we're based in Southern Europe, the U.S., and Latin America.
I think one of our unique differentiators is our Latin American culture.
uh, focus as well, where we have, uh, offices in Mexico, um, Argentina, Chile, Peru.
So we have a really nice, um, kind of Southern Europe, U S Latin American contingent.
And, uh, my, my unit Digilent is, um, the paid media arm.
So search social and programmatic buying.
Yeah, I wish I found it.
No, it's actually the family in Spain is actually 100% owners of the company.
It's the Rodez family.
Fernando Rodez, who's our chairman, used to be for many years the chairman and CEO of Havas Media.
And then about seven or eight years ago, the Rodez family started buying up marketing services firms.
around the globe to kind of, and now they've consolidated this all under ISPD.
So I joined a couple of years ago.
I had previously worked at both Aegis and the Aegis Dentsu Network, as well as Omnicom for maybe 10 to 15 years.
So I've always been in the kind of the agency holding company space.
And since 1998, I've been in digital marketing.
