“Last year, we took great strides to redesign the entire digital advertising supply chain with SOURCE, while focusing internally on building a diverse leadership team at every level to navigate a transformative time in our industry’s evolution,” said Joe Zawadzki, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MediaMath. “Ashwini has been an agent of change throughout her career, bringing a global-first perspective and deep knowledge of the agency, senior marketer, and ecosystem audiences. She provides a powerful dose of vision, domain and operational expertise to the Board. We are honored to have her.”
Acknowledged as one of the most powerful women in mobile advertising, Ashwini brings a breadth of agency experience to MediaMath to help guide the company’s agency strategies and partnerships. As Global President at Dentsu, she launched, scaled, and operated Amnet (Dentsu Aegis Network’s global programmatic group) in more than 50 markets, leading the group to exceptional consistency and profitability on a global scale. Additionally, during her time at Dentsu, Ashwini led Navegg and Accordant Media’s acquisitions, which resulted in new products and revenue opportunities.
“MediaMath leads the digital advertising ecosystem with a focus on delivering addressability, accountability and alignment through the SOURCE framework and its unique and all-encompassing identity solution architecture,” said Ashwini Karandikar. “Its commitment to delivering on innovative solutions that will work for brands, agencies, publishers and technology providers alike is why I joined, and I’m excited to help make it happen.”
