Koch will take on responsibility for all research-related initiatives, as well as identifying new research areas for the IAB.

Before joining the IAB, Koch formed the marketing sciences division at Reddit, and has also led research and measurement teams at organisations including Spotify, Microsoft, EA and LinkedIn.

Chris Bruderle has also taken on an expanded role at the IAB as vice-president, industry insights and content strategy, having previously been vice-president, research and insights.

Bruderle has worked for the IAB for almost four years, and in his newly expanded role will work with the centres of excellence and IAB Tech Lab to create industry education for brands, agencies, publishers and advertising technology participants.

Sheryl Goldstein, executive vice-president, chief industry growth officer, at the IAB, said: “Pam, Jack, and Chris each bring unique perspectives to the IAB team.

“With their years of experience and insights, we are excited to feel their impact – bringing our industry together and continuing to create solutions and educate the marketplace in this highly dynamic time.”
