Tech Moves: McAndrews joins AppNexus board; Goffman checks in at LinkedIn; etc.
Summary
Brian McAndrews has joined the board of AppNexus, a New York online advertising company backed by Microsoft, Venrock, First Round Capital and others. “AppNexus is in an incredibly unique and enviable position as a market-leading ad technology solution that services both the buy and sell sides,” said McAndrews. In a blog post, founder Drew Morrison could hardly contain his emotions of picking up an experienced technology executive like Billmaier who he notes has worked directly with Paul Allen and raised more than $700 million during this career. “With Jim and Olin on our team and the list of talented people that are coming to work with us in the near future, I’m just astounded and am still pinching myself,” writes Morrison. Envision, a Seattle maker of customer service center software, announced that Ron Strandin has rejoined the company in the role of CEO.
