Bio

Charles Manning is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kochava. Kochava's Unified Audience Platform provides precision omnichannel measurement and attribution, empowering brands to optimize their marketing. Manning began his career at Oracle and subsequently held executive and C-level positions at M-Code, Managed Objects, and PLAYXPERT. He founded PLAYXPERT as a gaming technology platform, and after licensing that technology to Razer, he led a team focused on building engagement platforms for entrepreneurs and agencies — work that revealed a gap in mobile attribution and post-install analytics, ultimately leading to the creation of Kochava. Most recently, Kochava announced a strategic partnership with AI-driven media intelligence company Samba TV, aimed at delivering consistently measured performance across both TV and digital platforms by combining Samba TV's first-party viewership data with Kochava's attribution analytics.
