Axis is pleased to announce that Anastasia Skliarenko, Director of Growth, has been shortlisted for the Ad Tech Rising Star award at The Wires Awards 2026, one of the leading global awards programmes recognising innovation, expertise and impact across digital media, marketing, commerce and AdTech.
The Ad Tech Rising Star category celebrates professionals who are making a meaningful impact in the industry and are emerging as the next generation of AdTech leaders.
For Anastasia, the nomination reflects her rapid progression within Axis and her contribution to the company's growth and the wider digital advertising ecosystem. Since joining the company, she has moved from Partnership Manager to Head of Partnerships and, most recently, to Director of Growth, expanding her remit across growth strategy, marketing, and business development as she helped build out Axis's wider growth function. She has played a central part in scaling Axis's global partner ecosystem and transforming partnerships into a core growth engine for the business.
Beyond her work at Axis, Skliarenko is a vocal advocate for collaboration over competition in AdTech and a committed mentor to women moving into senior business and technical roles in the industry.
"I’m incredibly grateful to be recognised alongside so many talented people who are shaping our industry. For me, this shortlist is not just about an individual achievement - it reflects the people I’ve had the chance to work with, the trust they’ve placed in me, and everything we’ve built together at Axis.
I'm especially proud of the journey behind this recognition. My role has evolved significantly over the past few years, from building strategic partnerships to working across growth, business development, marketing, and the company's wider commercial strategy. What I enjoy most is bringing people, ideas and opportunities together and turning those connections into something that creates real value."
