The largest global independent trading desk welcomes new C-Suite executives Andy Vogel and Ryan Carhart to support further expansion

AUDIENCEX, the largest global independent trading desk built for performance marketers, announced it has experienced record growth, including doubling its business in under 12 months, the addition of over 150 new clients and revenue for the current quarter increasing more than 300% YOY. To support this rapid business growth, the company has announced several executive-level hires, with the addition of Chief Commercial Officer Andy Vogel and Chief Financial Officer Ryan Carhart.

“We are continuing to invest in our products and our people, and these investments are having a clear impact on our ongoing growth as a company,” said AUDIENCEX CEO and co-founder Reeve Benaron. “Andy and Ryan are respected industry leaders and a perfect addition to the world-class team we have assembled, and they share in our excitement to propel AUDIENCEX through our next stage of growth.”

AUDIENCEX’s success has been driven in part by its proprietary DSP scoring system that sits inside the recently launched tdX trading desk. Powered by AI, the system scores the 12 leading DSPs that are available inside tdX based on a 250-point evaluation, and identifies which platform is best suited to fulfill each campaign’s goals.
