LEGENDS OF ADTECH

Episode 3: The Future Architect

Cadi Jones, SVP, EMEA at Index Exchange


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.


In Episode Two, we sit down with Seun Odeneye, Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Media at KINESSO, to explore his journey from the sell side to leading one of the largest media teams in the region. A true game-changer, Seun shares what today’s buy side really wants from adtech, how to lead with culture and performance in a fast-moving industry, and why CTV’s growth story is far from over (but also not all that different to other video media).
