Her leadership will be pivotal as we accelerate AI-powered marketing to help our customers drive business growth and build enduring brand value.”

Argyilan said she has long followed LiveRamp’s role in the advertising ecosystem.

“I have long admired LiveRamp for its unique position as the essential data collaboration network connecting the advertising ecosystem,” said Argyilan. “Commerce media is entering a new era of maturity where success is defined by the strength of the network and the ability to drive and understand real-world actions. I am thrilled to join the Board and help LiveRamp continue to lead the industry in creating value through secure, trusted collaboration.”
