For 4 years in a row, Centro has been named the #1 Best Place to Work by Crain’s Chicago. We've set out to transform the digital media industry, but we can’t do it without great people and an innovative, amazing culture - we believe that success can only be achieved through dedication to the growth and well-being of the individual, not just the corporation. Centro partners with agencies and publishers to deliver digital advertising that makes an impact. Our mission is to empower digital media leaders, and we are committed to developing software and services that support both agencies and publishers as they navigate the increasingly complex digital space. Before life recruiting for the BEST place to work, I spent a few years on a hunt for the best tacos in Texas. I ventured back to Chicago (and question that decision each winter) to be closer to my family and my favorite Chicago athletics. If you ever find me "in the zone" behind the computer, I am most likely reading up on the latest psychology or sociology article about human behavior.
