TORONTO, May 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Index Exchange Inc. (Index), one of the world’s largest independent ad exchanges, today announced the hiring of Matt Barash as senior vice president of Americas.
In the newly established role, Barash will oversee the Americas and work closely with media owners, agencies, and other key partners to adopt and leverage Index’s leading suite of programmatic technology to support an ad-funded and sustainable open web.
