Grant Media, LLC, the owner of the GalaxySearch.com and Sex.com search engines, announced today the expansion of its management team via the hiring of several new key employees.
Danny Susantin joined the company to manage the three-person accounting department, as he finishes his MBA at San Francisco State University in electronic commerce. Rich Rutherford, who formerly started and managed the sales team at AutoTrader.com and CLiCk Magazine, is Grant Media's first head of the 10-person sales and marketing team. Rich has 12 years of sales and advertising experience, having worked in online advertising with NexChange Inc. Christopher Levine, an original engineer at Flycast Communications, joined the Company to spearhead the five-person development department. Mike Ulliman was appointed to Grant Media's first manager of traffic, where his seven years of sales and business development experience will build the company's Internet traffic offerings.
"GalaxySearch and Sex.Com are both growing at a fast pace, and with each department now being micro-managed, the business will run much more efficiently," Sex.com chief executive officer Gary Kremen told AVNOnline.com. "As GalaxySearch and Sex.com ramp up advertising services and opportunities, Webmasters will begin to see even more sales than before."
With these new additions to Grant Media's management team, the company can more effectively and readily deliver its products and services to customers.
In related news, Grant Media's former COO, Steve Klopf, resigned as of May 1, 2004.
