In Episode Three, we’re joined by Cadi Jones, SVP Europe at Index Exchange, to unpack what it takes to shape the future of programmatic. A true future architect, Cadi reflects on a career spent building at the forefront of adtech innovation, from programmatic at Clear Channel to CTV strategies at Pixability and now driving Index’s European vision. We cover what’s next for the ecosystem, the value of community in this industry, and how to stay ahead of the curve when the ground is always shifting.

Welcome to Legends of Adtech: the podcast where we go beyond the buzzwords and straight to the people at the cold face of the adtech industry. Every two weeks, we sit down with the industry’s boldest thinkers, pioneers, and disruptors, to find out how they’re rewriting the game. This is their story.
