The IAB Australia has elevated Gai Le Roy to chief executive officer, from her previous role as interim CEO and director of research.
The charter will focus on standards that promote trust and steps to reduce friction in the ad supply chain.
As part of her announcement, Le Roy also unveiled a new IAB industry charter which will see the organisation focus on helping marketers and agencies understand how digital advertising can deliver on their business objectives.
