Sedo
CEO Tobias Flaitz |
Tobias
Flaitz, CEO of Sedo Holding AG,
said, “I would like to thank the
departing founders and management
members for the last 12 years in which
Sedo has matured from a fast growing
start-up to the world’s largest domain
marketplace with more than 140 employees
serving our global customer base. With
changing market requirements and
increasing competition, Sedo enters the
next stage in its growth with changes at
the management level that will let the
company continue to cater to today’s
client expectations.”
Co-Founder
Ulrich Essmann, who has been serving as
President of Sedo.com, LLC, said
“By
the nature of the domain business, Sedo
has always been an evolving
organization, and embracing change
is part of the company’s DNA. Today we
are very proud to pass on management
responsibility to longtime team
members who will enable Sedo to
capitalize on its tremendous growth
opportunity and bright future.”

With
Mr. Flaitz anchoring the next generation
of Sedo leadership, the company's announcement
said Sedo is poised for further growth in its
second decade by bringing to market
innovative domain solutions that help
companies and entrepreneurs capitalize on their online
real estate potential, citing a recently
launched suite
of services to help launch promote and grow new
gTLDs as one example.
