Nick Frizzell

Nick Frizzell is a key figure in the governance and technical infrastructure of the open programmatic advertising ecosystem, serving as Head of Industry Relations at IAB Tech Lab. In this role, he works to accelerate industry adoption of critical technical standards including ads.txt, sellers.json, and privacy-related specifications, acting as a bridge between the standards body and the broader AdTech community of publishers, buyers, and technology vendors. At IAB Tech Lab, Frizzell engages with stakeholders across the supply chain to ensure that technical specifications are understood, implemented, and refined through real-world feedback.

His contributions support the integrity and transparency of the programmatic marketplace at a foundational level.
