OpenX Fuels Continued Commercial Growth With Expanded Leadership Across Buyer Development and Marketing
OpenX Technologies, Inc., one of the world's leading omnichannel supply-side platforms, today announced the promotions of Stacy Bohrer to Senior Vice President, Buyer Development, and Amanda Forrester to Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications.
These leadership elevations follow a strong 2024 and continued growth in early 2025, driven by the success of OpenXSelect — the company's advertiser-focused curation and supply-side targeting platform. Over the past year, OpenX has added more than 200 net new brands and seen a surge in engagement across curated deals and targeting tools, underscoring the company's commercial momentum.
Today, OpenX has approximately 400 employees and will grow its commercial team by more than 20% in the second half of 2025, with over one-third of that expansion taking place in international markets. This growth will strengthen the company's ability to serve brands and independent agencies, respond quickly to buyer needs, and deliver the market's most intuitive, high-performing platform.
Bohrer has been a key architect of that progress, growing strategic partnerships across holding companies, independent agencies, and direct marketers. In addition to scaling the sales organization, she established a high-performing account management function to deliver best-in-class service and client satisfaction. In her expanded role, Bohrer will oversee all buyer development efforts across the Americas, including OpenX's newly opened office in Mexico City, strengthening the company's global footprint and enhancing its service across key growth markets.
'Stacy's impact has been nothing short of transformational,' said Matt Sattel, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenX. 'She knows how to build high-performing teams that deliver for clients, and she does it with relentless focus and strategic clarity. As we double down on our buyer relationships and expand our presence across the Americas, Stacy's leadership will be key to accelerating growth and deepening trust with partners who are looking for smarter, faster, and more effective ways to buy media.'
'We're no longer just a pipe: The supply side is now delivering critical product functionality that drives performance for marketers and agencies,' said Stacy Bohrer, SVP of Buyer Development at OpenX. 'Clients deserve a supply partner they can trust — one that is transparent, collaborative, and invested in delivering on outcomes. That's where I'll be focused: deepening partnerships, accelerating innovation, and delivering measurable results.'
Forrester, a seasoned and product-first marketing leader, has helped align the voice of the customer with product strategy while refining OpenX's market positioning. Her work has sharpened the company's position in the marketplace, informed the roadmap, and strengthened collaboration across marketing, product, sales, and engineering. Under her leadership, marketing has become a growth engine, shaping narratives, accelerating new product initiatives, and expanding OpenX's global impact in key markets including the UK, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan.
'Placing the customer's voice at the center of our business has been essential to guiding both product and marketing strategy while aligning sales, events, and communications under a unified vision. I'm energized to carry that perspective into every facet of our work, ensuring we remain solutions-driven and customer-led,' said Amanda Forrester, SVP Marketing and Communications. 'With powerful technology and rich insights at our disposal, the supply side is uniquely positioned to shape what's next — and there's never been a more exciting time to lead that transformation.'
'Stacy and Amanda represent the best of OpenX: curious, innovative, customer-obsessed, and deeply collaborative,' said John Gentry, CEO of OpenX. 'Their influence goes beyond sales and marketing — they help foster the kind of effective, driven, and inclusive culture that makes OpenX a great place to work and accelerates innovation and execution.'

TEP to Convert Coal-Fired Springerville Generating Station Units to Natural Gas
TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tucson Electric Power (TEP) plans to convert two units at the coal-fired Springerville Generating Station (SGS) to run on natural gas by 2030. The project will maintain access to affordable, around-the-clock energy while reducing carbon emissions and preserving local jobs. 'Our SGS conversion project will extend the life of a plant that has powered Tucson's growth for more than four decades,' said Susan Gray, TEP's President and CEO. 'It will help us provide reliable, affordable, and increasingly sustainable service while extending our productive partnership with communities in the White Mountains region.' Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs praised the project. 'A resilient grid that's reliable, affordable, and sustainable is core to delivering on the Arizona Promise,' Hobbs said. 'This plan will deliver cleaner air and lower costs, while strengthening communities in northeastern Arizona and building a more resilient energy future.' Cost-Effective Capacity The conversion will provide comparable capacity to the coal-fired units while costing less than building new resources such as a new combined cycle natural gas-fired facility or solar plus long-term energy storage systems that provide comparable reliability. The natural gas conversion also will provide greater cost certainty compared to the continued use of coal. TEP's 2023 Integrated Resource Plan called for the retirement of SGS Units 1 and 2 in 2027 and 2032, respectively, due to rising fuel costs, increasing delivery risks, anticipated mine closures, and environmental considerations and regulation. Although current federal policy is supportive of coal-fired generation, those long-term risks remain. Natural gas-fired generators provide advantages over coal-fired power plants on today's energy grid, as they can better accommodate and support increasing levels of intermittent wind and solar power. Coal plants are designed to operate at steady levels and cannot easily ramp up or down in response to customer needs and renewable energy output. Lower Carbon Emissions The conversion will reduce the units' carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent, supporting TEP's goal of achieving net zero direct greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 without compromising on reliability or affordability. We are pursuing that aspirational goal through a balanced energy mix that also supports greater resiliency and energy security. Natural gas generation can serve as a 'bridge' to a cleaner energy future, providing ready, reliable power while newer technologies mature. Options may include cost-effective long-duration storage, small modular nuclear reactors, and a switch to hydrogen as a carbon-free fuel source for plants previously powered by natural gas. 'Achieving our 2050 net zero goal will require an all-of-the-above approach, including investments in clean energy solutions and partnerships with customers to encourage thoughtful energy use,' Gray said. 'While we cannot predict exactly how we'll achieve net zero carbon emissions, we know that efficient, reliable natural gas generation will be a part of our path toward that goal.' Supporting Local Economies The SGS repowering project will support the continued availability of affordable, reliable power in Southern Arizona for local residents and businesses. It will also maintain jobs and tax revenues for Springerville, Eager, St. John's and other White Mountains communities that our SGS employees call home. 'This transition at Springerville is a step toward a more sustainable energy future that doesn't leave rural Arizona behind,' said U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.). 'By moving away from coal while maintaining affordable and reliable power, TEP is showing that we can protect jobs, while propelling innovative energy solutions at the same time. Arizona needs smart, balanced solutions like this that support working families, strengthen local economies, and keep us moving toward our clean energy goals.' TEP has been operating SGS since 1985 on a high desert plain about 175 miles northeast of Tucson, near the Arizona-New Mexico border and about 15 miles outside of Springerville, Ariz. It was one of several coal-fired power plants developed during the 1970s and 1980s in the Four Corners area to support growing communities in the southwest United States. 'Springerville Generating Station isn't just a power plant. It's a lifeline to the Round Valley communities,' said Springerville Mayor Shelly Reidhead. 'This commitment to repower the plant with natural gas helps ensure a brighter future for this region, saving jobs, stabilizing the tax base and attracting future energy investments.' SGS Unit 1 came online in 1985, while Unit 2 came online in 1990. TEP owns Units 1 and 2 and operates all four units at the plant, including Unit 3, a 400 MW unit owned by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, and Unit 4, a 400 MW unit owned by Salt River Project (SRP).
