SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 2, 2026--

LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP) today announced that CEO Scott Howe has been awarded the Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) Service of Excellence — Lifetime Commitment Award. Presented onstage at the 2026 IAB Annual Leadership Meeting, the award recognizes Howe’s transformative impact on the ecosystem and his career-long commitment to innovation.

“As the industry’s essential data collaboration network, LiveRamp’s trajectory has been shaped by Scott’s belief in open standards and collective progress,” said Lauren Dillard, CFO, LiveRamp. “He has successfully navigated the industry’s most volatile shifts, and is now doing the same for the AI era. Under Scott’s leadership, we’re excited to build a more intelligent, interoperable ecosystem where responsible data collaboration and marketing excellence go hand-in-hand.”

As AI transforms the advertising landscape, Scott has led the call for standardization to make this growth sustainable, advocating for shared identity frameworks, clean room interoperability, and trusted measurement. Under Scott’s leadership, LiveRamp developed additional standards for AI’s rapidly-evolving role in the ecosystem, and donated them to the IAB Tech Lab to become part of its open-source agentic initiative. LiveRamp will remain a strong contributor to these standards to make it easy for the industry to get the most value from AI and drive better marketing results.
