Omar Hamoui could be called a ”serial entrepreneur.” Immediately out of college he started his first business a consulting company that grew to between 20 and 25 people. Then came what he characterizes as the one job he has ever had: a two-year stint working at Sony. After that Hamoui created a series of startups built around the expanding ecosystem of mobile devices. While he was a first-year MBA student at Wharton in 2006 he came up with the idea for AdMob a company that sells advertising for phones’ mobile browsers. In the space of a year AdMob claims to have become the ”world’s largest mobile advertising marketplace.” Knowledge at Wharton spoke to Hamoui about the evolution of mobile advertising.
