The category recognizes women driving meaningful innovation in AI across media and marketing, from pioneering new applications to shaping responsible and effective solutions. Posner is among the 2026 honorees recognized for advancing this work across the industry.

At DoubleVerify, Posner leads the global team responsible for the policies and standards underpinning DV’s AI-powered brand suitability and contextual offerings. Her work sits at the intersection of AI, policy and media quality, helping ensure that as AI transforms how digital content is created and classified, advertisers have the transparency and controls needed to protect their brands.

Under Posner’s leadership, DV has built a more research-driven approach to AI classification, using advertiser and consumer insights to inform how its policies and technology evolve. Her team’s research helped shape DV’s AI SlopStopper™ and how the company approaches the low-quality AI-generated content category and pre-bid capabilities designed to help advertisers avoid AI slop content that may not meet their quality standards.

Posner has helped lead several initiatives designed to strengthen trust across digital advertising. She spearheaded DV’s partnership with the Internet Watch Foundation to strengthen protections against highly illicit online content and helped establish the News Accelerator™ Publisher Council, creating a direct feedback loop between publishers and the verification ecosystem to support more nuanced approaches to brand suitability in news.
