The Rubicon Project had been doing well with Susie Roach on board, they just landed another important cog with the hiring of Kaylie Smith. Congrats to Kaylie and somehow I have no email address for Susie, anyone got one for me?
Andrew Rutledge has landed, at PubMatic. A good signing for them, and glad Andrew landed at an up-and-coming shop. PubMatic and AdMeld both have a handful of ex-Clickers, the race is on!
I got an email from Gad, the French clicker (ok, not the only one, but the one I worked with the most, way back when).. He had a lead on a pretty cool gig: Sales Director /VP sales in NY area, for a start-up who is launching a new advertising inventory system in the US. Gad claims it’s better than ShowAvail Ping me or gad (gad a-t stanislas dot org)
As I packed up this AM in my hotel, I looked at my nice DoubleClick duffel bag. I then remembered where I got it. Back in like 2002 or 2003, I think Bruce Dalziel had the idea to sell off the excess schwag to the employees, so I bought a few things, including this bag. I recall paying $20, I think Barb (Thanner) was running the register
Richard Frankel, former NG & Clicker, is now heading up a new start-up, a new type of network. I haven’t spoken to Richard in a few years, but always liked working with him in my early Clicker days. Head on over and read all about it.
I happened over to Rey’s profile on LinkedIn | Rey LeClerc earlier – it was in a newsletter from them, and I couldn’t help but notice he has a 3 year gap in his resume, the very 3-odd years he worked at DoubleClick.. What went wrong Rey? I hope it wasn’t something I said..
