pubX celebrates two 2026 Top Women in Media & Ad Tech honorees

pubX’s Johanna Bergqvist and Lucy Franco were named 2026 AdExchanger Top Women in Media & Ad Tech honorees for their work in agentic advertising.

On Tuesday night, Johanna Bergqvist and Lucy Franco were named to AdExchanger's 2026 Class of Top Women in Media & Ad Tech honorees, celebrated at The Lighthouse, Pier 61, Chelsea Piers, in New York City.

Johanna Bergqvist, President, North America, was recognised in the AI Media Innovators category. Lucy Franco, Product Lead, was recognised in New Product Launch. The rest of the pubX US team travelled to New York too, in support of Jo and Lucy.

Two different stories, one shared thread

Jo and Lucy's honours mark two different parts of the same mission: the leadership building pubX's agent-to-agent infrastructure for advertising, and the product work that brings it to life for publishers and advertisers.

The recognition doesn't end with the Gala. Jo and Lucy now join the Top Women Network, a year-round community connecting senior women across media, marketing, ad tech, PR and publishing, with ongoing programming and access to decision-makers across the industry. We're proud to have two of our own among them.

Yesterday, that continued in person, as Jo, Lucy and the rest of the pubX US team joined the Top Women Leadership Forum, also at The Lighthouse: a day of conversation and connection for senior women across the industry.

Congratulations again, Jo and Lucy. So well earned.
