“It’s an honor to receive this award, and I’m delighted to accept it on behalf of the team at Experian that works on these important policy and privacy issues,” said Hadley. “The data and advertising industries have gone through extraordinary changes over the past 15 years, and we have worked side-by-side with the DAA and other industry groups to help policymakers understand and address those changes in a way that protects consumers while encouraging innovation and dynamism in the ad-supported digital economy. With the support of the DAA and leaders across our industry, we’ve built a model for self-regulation paired with robust consumer choice tools of which we can all be proud.”
