CHIARA D’AMBRA

Chiara D’Ambra is a 15-year digital advertising veteran and a recognized industry authority, named by Forbes as one of the “Best Minds in Mobile in 2017” As the Co-founder and COO of Winklelab, Chiara has built a high-performance boutique agency designed to help app developers with user acquisition strategis and achieve international scalability through her leadership of a diverse, borderless team.
Her career is defined by a “self-made” global perspective. Originally from Southern Italy, Chiara navigated a public university system by securing multiple competitive scholarships to study in Spain and the United States, eventually earning her Business Administration degree from Arcavacata Cosenza. This foundation of resilience fueled her rise through the ad-tech trenches, where she played pivotal roles in scaling operations for companies heading toward IPOs and guiding startups through successful global acquisitions.
Today, Chiara leads with a “conscious corporate footprint” mindset. Under her direction, Winklelab operates on a 100% remote, Decarbonized Workspace Model. By implementing a formal Zero-Commute Mandate, her team mitigates an estimated 2.6 tons of $CO_2$ per person annually, proving that hyper-growth can coexist with environmental stewardship.
A firm believer that business success should fuel social change, Chiara balances her professional drive with consistent philanthropic support for Progetto Arca and Aldeas Infantiles SOS, aiding the homeless and vulnerable children. Chiara embodies the modern executive: an entrepreneurial visionary committed to technical excellence, sustainability, and meaningful human impact.
