LiveRamp will replace Gupta by elevating two executive positions in the company: Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer.

Gupta, who joined LiveRamp in 2010, said: “It is humbling to have been part of such an incredible team and to have contributed to LiveRamp’s hyper-growth and position” as a leader in global data connectivity.

Gupta’s next destination had not been identified at deadline.
