🔥 What You’re Missing in ADOTAT+

Kelly Metz doesn’t just take jobs—she detonates them into something unrecognizable. While the rest of the industry plays dress-up with buzzwords, Metz is the one rewriting the rules in real time.

In our exclusive ADOTAT+ deep dive, we go beyond the conference mic-drops and tote-bag sightings to unpack:

How she keeps turning 18 months into five years of impact (and why her bosses say they’d rather ride the turbulence than stick with “safe hands”).
What she really thinks about CTV’s “currency wars”—and how her contradictions aren’t contradictions at all, but a tactical roadmap.
The private feedback from her past and current bosses—what they told us off-stage about working with someone who refuses to slow-walk change.
The myth vs. the method: Is she a disruptor, a builder, or both? And why does it scare people?

This isn’t a résumé recap. It’s an autopsy of every ecosystem Metz has rewired, with insight you won’t hear on panels—or LinkedIn humblebrags.
