Jonny Hendriksen

Jonny Hendriksen is a pioneering technology entrepreneur best known for founding two influential digital advertising companies, ValueClick Japan and Shuttlerock. In 1998, he launched ValueClick Japan and, as its CEO, led the company to a successful initial public offering on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2000. Under Hendriksen’s leadership, ValueClick Japan grew into the country’s largest web and mobile advertising network, reaching roughly 40 million unique users per month at its peak. After returning to New Zealand, Hendriksen founded Shuttlerock in 2011 to tackle the complex challenge of scaling advertising content for enterprise marketers in the emerging age of social media. Shuttlerock’s innovative “Creative-as-a-Service” model and global production network have since established it as a leading provider of high-quality digital ad creative at scale for major brands. In recognition of his entrepreneurial success and industry impact, Jonny Hendriksen was awarded EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024.
