Starting a little BV reunion

I took notice this week that now 3 Clickers have landed over at BazaarVoice, ok, make that 4!  And I’m probably missing others.

  • Ari Paparo
  • Denise Zaraya, recent add on PM side
  • CEO Stephen Collins
  • Newly hired sales VP, Jesse Cozart

And they might not be done yet :-)

addendum: I forgot Jen Franchetti and Michael Zung
