Sedo
is heading into the new year with a new
CEO at the helm. The popular
domains sales and monetization
platform has appointed internet
industry veteran Matthias Conrad
to a role that Tobias Flaitz
is leaving after seven years on the
job. Conrad has been serving as the
VP Marketing at 1&1
IONOS, a company, like
Sedo, that is part of internet giant
United
Internet Group
(UI).
UI
has a policy of not reporting
personnel changes through press
releases but we learned that Conrad
moved into his new position on
January 1st, 2019 when he joined the Sedo
management board alongside fellow
directors Barbara Stolz and Hakan
Ali. That highly experienced
trio is intent on expanding Sedo's
already large footprint in the
domain arena.
Ali,
the Managing Director of Sedo, said,
"I thank Tobias Flaitz for his dedication
to our company
over
the past seven years and I
|
Matthias
Conrad
CEO, Sedo
|
|
wish him
all the best for the future. He
was responsible for the
restructuring of Sedo, expanding its international
activities and product portfolio. The
now strong and stable company
needs new momentum. I am pleased
that we were able to welcome an industry
insider at Sedo with Matthias
Conrad. Together Matthias Conrad,
Barbara Stolz and I will drive forward
the positive development of
Sedo."
Conrad started his career in 1999 as product
manager at Vodafone Germany.
As a qualified electrical engineer,
he worked for Vodafone Egypt
and Vodafone Hungary for six
years, where he was responsible
for product management and
customer marketing in the B2B
segment until 2011 as Director
Marketing.
Since July 2011 Conrad has been working
for 1&1 IONOS. He was
responsible for the product
management for the
international web hosting and
e-commerce business and most
recently as Head of Marketing
for the re-branding and brand
introduction of 1&1 IONOS. In addition,
he completed an extra-occupational
MBA at Henley Business School.
