The event will be moderated by Rishad Tobaccowala, a globally recognized futurist and author of Rethinking Work.

“At Matrix Solutions, we believe in creating space for the conversations that move our industry forward,” said Mark Gorman, CEO of Matrix Solutions. “The Candid Conversation series, in collaboration with the Media Ad Sales Council, reflects our commitment to not only developing innovative media sales technology but also supporting the leadership and transformation efforts of media organizations navigating real change.”

The session will examine what it truly means to lead with purpose in today’s media world, moving beyond “return to office” conversations to more pressing questions: How do we lead across five generations? How do we build trust with a workforce that no longer believes in traditional structures? How do emotionally intelligent leaders bridge the gap between performance and people?

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Rishad back,” added Brenda Hetrick, President of Matrix Solutions. “He delivered the most talked-about keynote on industry transformation at our 2023 Media Ad Sales Summit in Fort Lauderdale, and we’re excited to bring his thought-provoking perspective to an even wider audience through this virtual session.”
