Dynadot Brings Multi-Talented Domain Pro Yiqiu Tao On Board as Director of Sales for the Rapidly Growing Registrar & Marketplace

In 2002 Todd Han (who was profiled in our September 2023 Cover Story) started a new domain registrar, Dynadot, and spent the next several years doing every bit of the work involved by himself, using a small home office as his base. The company has grown astronomically since then but to this day Dynadot has still taken no money from investors and carries no debt! Todd took a slow, steady approach through the early years to build a rock solid foundation featuring low prices and an easy to use interface that made Dynadot a domain investor favorite along the way. Equally important was his ability to recruit a group of exceptionally talented people that has fueled a growth explosion for Dynadot over the past five years. 

In 2020 Dynadot had 2.5 million domains under management and 50 employees. Just five years later, the company now has over 7.5 million domains (making them one of the six biggest registrars in the world) and 150 employees around the globe. To help keep that momentum going, Dynadot has just added another star performer to its executive team by bringing multi-talented industry veteran Yiqiu Tao on board as Director of Sales. In that role Yiqiu will be responsible for driving sales across both their marketplace and brokerage services.

What exactly do I mean when I describe Yiqiu as "multi-talented"? For starters, over the past five years, while serving as Country Manager China at Sedo, Yiqiu, who was educated in Germany and holds a Master of Science degree, closed so many domain sales that the dollar value on her ledger reached eight figures. Many of those were premium domains acquired by corporate buyers, including EZE.com, Collecting.com and Q.to name just a few. Then there is her ability to speak multiple languages fluently (Chinese, German and English), enabling her to work seamlessly with clients across Asia, Europe, and North America. That opened the door for her to collaborate with leading global brands and Chinese enterprises in technology, e-commerce, and finance, including Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Huawei. 

At Dynadot Yiqiu believes she has a suite of services that practically sells itself. "Dynadot offers one of the lowest brokerage fees in the industry (10%), along with secure escrow and multiple settlement options — including cryptocurrency and Alipay — ensuring smooth cross-border transactions," she noted. Yiqiu also dropped some news that will be of special interest to domain buyers and sellers. "Dynadot will officially launch its dedicated brokerage service in October," she told us. "That will allow us to better serve high-value clients worldwide. Backed by a growing multilingual team and strong industry partnerships — including a strategic collaboration we recently established with Alibaba Cloud — we are strengthening connections between Asia and the West."
