John Nardone is the CEO of JWX, the leading independent platform helping media businesses connect content with consumers across every platform. Built from the merger of JW Player and Connatix, JWX rebranded in 2025 to reflect its evolution into a unified partner for publishers, streamers, and advertisers navigating a rapidly changing media landscape. With more than 30 years of experience across advertising, technology, and media — and a background as a longtime buy-side executive — John is focused on helping media companies adapt to declining referral traffic, shifting discovery dynamics, and audience fragmentation, turning strategy into execution at scale.
