Commenting on his appointment, Tushar Gupta said, “Having spent my career on the buy side, managing trading operations and programmatic P&L within global agency networks, I’ve seen exactly what earns a platform its budgets: transparent supply, measurable outcomes, and partners who make a trader’s job easier. As AI reshapes programmatic advertising, those expectations are only rising. My focus at AudienceConnect will be on aligning product innovation with evolving buyer needs while driving a commercial strategy that accelerates growth across international markets.”
The appointment comes at a pivotal stage in AudienceConnect’s growth, as the company continues to advance its AI-powered advertising technology, expand its global presence and strengthen strategic partnerships.
