Michael Richardson is vice president of product at Index Exchange, where he leads the product management team in advancing Index Marketplaces to support a more dynamic partner ecosystem. He brings a proven track record of building and scaling products that shape the way digital advertising works across platforms.

Prior to joining Index, Michael served as global head of product at Samsung Ads, overseeing the inventory, technology, and marketplace that power Samsung’s global advertising business. Earlier in his career, he co-founded Airship, a pioneer in mobile app engagement, and played a central role in expanding its international operations. At AppNexus, he co-founded and chaired Prebid.org, the independent open-source organization that established the standard for header bidding, and he later led the sell-side business at Xandr.

Growing up on the Zumwalt Prairie in a house without electricity, Michael gained a unique perspective from an early age that continues to shape his approach to innovation and leadership.
