Brad Bender brings more than 25 years of global product and business leadership to A–Z Consulting. As a Vice President of Product Management at both Google and DoubleClick, he navigated the full product lifecycle: developing new ideas, finding product-market fit, scaling businesses, revitalizing established products, and knowing when to retire them.

At Google, Brad built the Google Display Network into a multi-billion-dollar business. He most recently served as Vice President of Product Management for Google’s News and Search Ecosystems, leading global teams to deliver products that serve billions of people worldwide. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. In 2012, Crain’s New York Business named him to its “40 Under 40” list.

Today, Brad advises and invests in companies across technology, media, entertainment, and services. He is an Independent Director of Entravision (NYSE: EVC) and a Non-Executive Director of AI-Media (ASX: AIM), where he co-chairs the Product and Technology Committee. He has also served as a Trustee of the Classical Theatre of Harlem for over a decade and currently acts as its Treasurer. As an angel investor, he is particularly drawn to companies using technology to create meaningful, positive social impact.

Outside of work, Brad is an avid skier and lifelong traveler, having lived on three continents and visited all seven.
