The vision

Relationships form the foundation of every advertising business. That’s why we build best-in-class software to facilitate collaboration between publishers and advertisers, connecting people and driving mutual success. We achieve this through a strong sense of team spirit and a commitment to leveraging our collective strengths, ensuring that our innovative solutions empower everyone involved to reach their full potential.

The history

The software’s origins trace back to 2008, when founders Ginette Lumbiarres and Alban Grossenbacher, while working at TX Group, initiated its development. After a buyout in 2015, they founded goTom.

Within a few years, Switzerland’s major publishers transitioned to the platform, followed by the first international clients from Austria and Germany in 2018. In 2024, goTom employs more than 20 staff members, driving the development of the technology and the company’s strategic expansion from its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. The company is self-funded and independent.
