Our Team


ERIN YASGAR

CEO + Founder

Erin started SLD with three goals in mind - to be smart, fast and efficient with the solutions to her client’s challenges.

With a background in design and marketing, and time on both sides of the client/agency table, Erin brings creative thinking to business challenges and has developed a penchant for data. She started pushing the envelope in the early days of the web; launching the first music download with Amazon and the first MP3 ringtone with Verizon. She has won two Webby Awards and a Communication Arts Award.

A travel junkie she has managed to visit all 50 states and lived in four of them. She loves cooking and interior design and will sheepishly admit she has seen Wilco over 50 times.

MICHELLE WALLACE

Ad Operations + Strategy

Hailing from the great city of St. Louis Michelle oversees our traders, ad operations and client strategy and is our resident ticketing genius. With, as she calls it, her "PhD in Ticketmaster”,  our venues love Michelle and her all encompassing knowledge of how to best sell more tickets! Michelle has worked in branding, design and inside agencies for years and has been a part of the success of brands such as the Altria in Vegas, Motorola and Burton Snowboards. Fun Fact: Michelle invented the signature cocktail for the Beverly Hilton hotel’s 50th anniversary rebranding. When she isn’t pouring over raw data and pivot tables you can find her in the garden or watching obscure foreign indie films and sci-fi.

LINDA MANSOUR

Head of Operations

With over 25 years of experience in media and digital marketing, Linda brings a wealth of industry knowledge to her role as Head of Operations at Silver Lake Digital. She keeps the team organized, projects moving, and clients supported, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

AMBER CORDERO

Head of Client Services

Amber Cordero has built her career around a single truth: smart media strategy and great storytelling get people off the couch.

Amber got her start in the music and entertainment industry as an early pioneer in the web, building integrated media campaigns for artists like Sting and Alanis Morissette and with labels Interscope and Warner Bros. Records. What started as building fan communities online evolved into an omnichannel strategy with one consistent goal: getting audiences to show up.

At Silver Lake Digital, Amber leads client services, overseeing campaign execution and client relationships across a diverse roster of clients and multiple industries.

A pop culture junkie with a weakness for 1970s and 80s films, she loves living in the West, riding her horse and slowly overcoming her fear of heights, one ski run at a time.

 

WILL RESTREPO

Head of Ad Operations + Analytics

Will leads the Analytics, Ad Ops, and Trading functions at SLD. He has been in the industry for 20 years, with a focus on programmatic since its earliest days. He has built or rebuilt trading platforms, developed automation software, and, via organizations such as the IAB, contributed to industry wide standards. He is a constant puzzle seeker and curious busy body who consistently asks, "how can we make this even better?" To that end, he has taken on many additional responsibilities over the years, including engineering, data scientist, and even documentation translator.

Outside of work, Will is a fiercely proud, life long New Yorker who dreams of the subway when he's away for more than a few days. He has season tickets to the opera, never misses a Slayer show when they're in town, and will one day compete on Jeopardy. Maybe.

RAQUEL AGUARIN
