Lisa Utzschneider
Chief Executive Officer at integral ad science
Lisa Utzschneider has been CEO of Integral Ad Science since January 2019, taking the ad-verification firm public on Nasdaq in June 2021 and through Novacap's $1.9 billion take-private close in December 2025. She previously served as Chief Revenue Officer at Yahoo and as Amazon's VP of Global Advertising Sales.
Utzschneider has run Integral Ad Science across the company’s full public-market arc — from her January 2019 appointment through the June 2021 Nasdaq IPO under Vista Equity Partners’ ownership and into Novacap’s $1.9 billion take-private close on December 23, 2025. Before IAS she spent two and a half years as Chief Revenue Officer at Yahoo, where she ran the global sales organization through the Verizon acquisition; before that she built Amazon’s global advertising sales operation as VP of Global Advertising Sales from 2008.
Her tenure spans the period in which third-party verification became table stakes for CTV and social-platform ad spend, putting IAS in the duopoly across the category alongside DoubleVerify.
