Ricky Chanana is currently the Director of Sales for ANZ at PubMatic. He has over 19 years of leadership experience in the media and marketing industry. Prior to PubMatic, he consulted as a Chief Growth Officer, partnering with brands and adtech companies to drive growth and scale in the AUNZ region. From 2020 to 2023, he served as Head of Sales for Twitch [Amazon] in Australia and New Zealand, where he launched Twitch Ads in the region and significantly expanded both the business and the team. He has also held senior roles at industry-leading organisations, including Managing Director at Unruly/NewsCorp and National Head of Investment and Digital at GroupM (Maxus, and MEC)

Outside of work, Ricky is a proud dad of two little whirlwinds—Hudson, a 4-year-old convinced he’s a future soccer star, and Cleo, a 1year-old who has already mastered the art of the perfect pout. Weekends for Ricky and his wife, Michelle, are a delightful mix of sprinting from one chaotic sports activity to another while juggling snacks and trying to remember what’s on the dinner menu for the week. Spoiler alert: sometimes it’s whatever can be microwaved in under three minutes
