NEW YORK, January 23, 2022 –  Integral Ad Science (Nasdaq: IAS), a global leader in digital media quality, today announced the appointment of Kevin Alvero as Head of Global Compliance, effective immediately. Alvero, a widely renowned industry authority who was at Nielsen for 20 years, will lead the global accreditation process and manage compliance worldwide for IAS.

“Accreditation from respected organizations has always been a major focus for IAS, and having Kevin join the company demonstrates that validating our trusted media quality products remains one of our highest priorities,” said Lisa Utzschneider, CEO of Integral Ad Science. “Kevin is one of the most distinguished compliance leaders in the industry and shows how IAS has built a senior leadership team with the highest caliber of talent.”
