Tumpa Roy, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Blockboard, has been honored as one of the Top Women in Media & Ad Tech 2025, a prestigious accolade presented by AdExchanger and AdMonsters. The annual award recognizes women who are transforming the digital media and advertising technology industries through innovation, leadership, and groundbreaking contributions.

With a distinguished track record in engineering and product development, Roy brings a deep well of expertise in AWS, Java, JavaScript, SQL, ad-bidding systems, and cloud infrastructure management. At Blockboard, she leads key engineering efforts that power platform scalability, system optimization, and next-generation AI-driven solutions. Known for her strategic acumen and technical prowess, Roy has become a driving force in shaping reliable, high-performing digital platforms.

“Tumpa’s work is a testament to what can be achieved when deep technical knowledge meets visionary leadership,” said a spokesperson from Blockboard. “She has consistently delivered robust solutions that not only scale effectively but also elevate user experience through innovation.”

Beyond her corporate leadership, Roy is also a passionate advocate for education and mentorship. Her contributions to the academic and research communities include the publication of three IEEE papers and five Springer papers, focusing on machine learning, blockchain, and advanced cloud architecture. Her dual role as an innovator and mentor has made her a standout figure in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

This year, Roy joins the ranks of the Buy-Side Tech Trailblazers—an elite group of women recognized for their leadership in product development and engineering within the media and ad tech industries.

Commenting on the growing impact of Indian American professionals in the sector, Alok Kumar, Founder of United Business Solutions Inc., said, “Leaders from the Indian American community entering the media and advertisement industry will bring a great impact, just as we have witnessed in the information technology sector.”

The 2025 Top Women in Media & Ad Tech Awards Gala will be held on June 5 in New York City, where Roy and other honorees will be celebrated for their leadership and forward-thinking contributions to the industry.
