SVP, Data and AI, Integral Ad Science

Bala Rajagopal leads Data and AI strategy at Integral Ad Science (IAS), driving the company's AI-first transformation across the measurement, optimization, and data enrichment products IAS ships to the world's largest advertisers and platforms. Under his leadership, IAS migrated from a Data Lake/Data Warehouse stack to a decentralized, domain-centric Lakehouse on Databricks — the foundation for the next chapter of AI-powered advertising signal enrichment at consumer scale.

At IAS, his current focus is translating AI capability into measurable customer value: enriching advertising signals with measurement context, optimizing campaign outcomes against those enriched signals, and leveraging the Databricks partnership as the force multiplier.
