Rodgers joined AdExchanger after earlier editorial stints at ClickZ and other digital media outlets, where he built his foundational expertise in digital advertising. At AdExchanger, he has covered landmark regulatory developments including GDPR and CCPA, the rise and evolution of header bidding, identity resolution challenges, and the ongoing transformation of the open web's advertising infrastructure.
