Makes Another Change at the Top - One Co-CEO is
Elevated While the Other Exits
|
|
Just
before
the
2012
DOMAINfest Global conference got
underway in late January, the show organizers, Oversee.net,
announced that Debra Domeyer and Scott
Morrow, who had been
|
|
serving
as the company's Co-Presidents since June 2011,
had been appointed Co-CEOs, filling a
role that had been held by Jeff Kupietzky
before he
left the company. Today Oversee
announced that Morrow has decided to leave
the company to pursue other interests and
that Ms. Domeyer has been promoted to
sole CEO. Historically
having Co-CEOs hasn't worked well for most
companies that have tried the unusual
arrangement. Morrow and Ms. Domeyer were asked
about that at a press breakfast during
DOMAINfest Global and both said they worked well
together and had complementary skills that made
them an effective tandem. Even so, less
than five weeks after they were appointed
Co-CEOs, the experiment has ended and Oversee
once again has a single captain in charge of the
ship.

I
think that Debra, who, along with Scott, was
featured in our annual State of the
Industry Cover
Story in January, is an excellent
choice to lead Oversee through a period of
rapid change that has also included the
divestment of their Moniker and SnapNames
divisions a few weeks ago (they retained their
widely-used DomainSponsor.com
monetization unit). She is bright, extremely
personable and one of the best listeners you
will find in any executive suite (that is a
valuable skill that should never be
under-estimated).

CEO Debra Domeyer
speaking at DOMAINfest Global 2012 |
With
over 25 years of experience in
technology, Ms. Domeyer, who had
served as Oversee's Chief Technical Officer
since 2008 (and continued in that role
after being named Co-CEO), will now turn
that job over to an
executive still to be hired. Prior to
joining Oversee, she was the Chief
Technology Officer at Internet Brands
(INET). She has served as Vice
President and Chief Information Officer
at Pacific Gas & Electric Energy
Services and was Vice President of
Information Systems for the Times
Mirror Company. Debra was named one
of the top 25 CTOs by InfoWorld
Magazine and listed in the ComputerWorld
Premier 100 IT leaders.
Lawrence
Ng, Chairman of the Board
and Co-Founder of Oversee.net, said
“Debra’s appointment as CEO
reaffirms the company’s commitment to
technology and innovation. Technology
has been a key competitive advantage in
helping Oversee become a leader in
traffic monetization and online consumer
lead generation. And it will
continue to be an essential part of
Oversee’s plans to expand its traffic
network and grow its lead generation
businesses in the travel, consumer
finance and online shopping
verticals.” |
Our
congratulations to Debra and we wish her all the
best in her new role.
