Brown spent nearly half of his career in CEO roles, and is regarded as a preeminent leader in media measurement. Most recently, he served as Global CEO for Kantar Media.

To be armed with precise insights into optimal reach and frequency, the publishers and inventory driving performance and the audiences watching and engaging with ads is game changing for any brand.”
