The Power of Connection

Brittany Slattery found out about one of the biggest moments of her career while chasing her toddlers around a neighborhood park concert. She talks about a career built on running toward complexity, the next chapter for OpenAP, and what AI will never be able to replace.

Anything but Linear: From an immigrant family from the former Yugoslavia to a small town in Ohio to broadcast journalism to the center of ad tech. Every move was driven by curiosity. 🌍

Running Toward Complexity: Her superpower is finding consensus among people who don't always agree. She seeks out the moments that need everyone at the table and thrives where others see ambiguity. 🤝

OpenAP's Next Chapter: Founded in 2017 as a TV network consortium, OpenAP is now building identity infrastructure to simplify how audiences are reached and measured across a fragmented video landscape. 📺

What AI Won't Replace: Everyone is talking about what AI automates. She wants to talk about what it doesn't. Human judgment, taste, intuition, and the relationships that hold the industry together. 🧠

The Bracelet: When her five-year-old started kindergarten, they bought matching bracelets. His has a heart. Hers has a dinosaur that connects into it. He's outgrown his. She still wears hers. 🦕
