She is always willing to collaborate and swiftly address important issues for our members. Through her role at Dotdash Meredith, Alysia brings a deep understanding of the publisher perspective, which is critical as our industry is being rearchitected from the ground up. I have complete confidence she will assist in leading the industry in the right direction.”
“IAB is at the forefront of addressing the issues that impact our industry, and we all need to hold each other accountable to ensure we are meeting the needs of consumers, enterprises, and institutions who use digital technology everyday,” stated Borsa. “As Chair, I look forward to collaborating with David Cohen, the Board of Directors broadly, and our full membership to educate and advance the tools needed to prepare ourselves for today’s changing ecosystem spanning regulation, fraud, identity, and addressability.”
“I am eager to work alongside Alysia, David Cohen, and the rest of the board to ensure we are helping all stakeholders improve and evolve the digital ecosystem during such a critical time. The IAB is doing important work, and I look forward to contributing additional perspective as we map our path into the future,” said John Halley, President, Paramount Advertising.

We are at a critical juncture in our evolution, and what we do today will shape our industry for years to come.
