About John Brozena

I\'m an Engineering Manager at Meta where I support a team of ~15 engineers on Facebook Reels Ads. We are one of the core teams that have helped grow Meta Reels Revenue from zero to $50B in 2025, surpassing Youtube\'s revenue.Before Meta, I was Director of Software Engineering at Urbint, where I started the Data Engineering team and grew it to 14 engineers. I built the data platform to support mission critical customers in the Utility space, focusing on data ingestion of multiple data sources coming across various channels (APIs, Emails, SFTP). Data ingested was used by fleets of thousands of professionals daily to define their workflow, requiring a tremendous focus on building redundancies to maintain reliability.Prior to this, I spent several years building startups from scratch as CTO, including in the Education Technology space where I co-founded and built a learning product that grew to 400k users. I also built machine learning tools and pipelines to extract structured information from unstructured documents for the financial industry, automating data extraction from financial products worth >$1B and used for speeding up due diligence. Prior to receiving my MBA from Columbia Business School I was a management consultant at Booz & Company where I provided strategic direction to executives at Fortune 500 companies in the Energy space.I received dual degrees in Engineering from Dartmouth College in 2010 where I specialized in Digital Electronics.
