Barry, who joined the company in 2016, will relocate from Sydney to New York for the new role. He will provide overall leadership across multiple cross functional teams and lead efforts with publishers to ensure they monetise their inventory and drive better outcomes for advertisers.

Barry has been responsible for rolling out the company’s Addressability Suite across APAC, and working with leading data and identity partners in the region.

PubMatic’s Addressability Suite includes Audience Encore, which enables data companies, publishers, and advertisers to buy and sell first-party data and utilize it to create targeted advertising offerings including campaigns with higher match rates. In addition to Audience Encore, PubMatic’s Addressability Suite also includes PubMatic’s identity management layer for publishers, Identity Hub.

Significant changes to the digital advertising industry, including the phase-out of cookies, compel brands to implement software that enables them to reach the right audiences across all channels, and PubMatic is well-positioned to provide access to these audiences.
