If
you have spent any time in this
business at all, you already know
the names - Vern Jurovich and
Michael Ward - two
universally respected industry
veterans, each of whom brings a
wealth of experience to their new
positions at Uniregistry. Jurovich
comes on board as Chief
Operating Officer while
Ward assumes the role of Director
of Registrar Operations.

COO Vern Jurovich (left) and

make a strong Uniregistry.com
management team even stronger. This
is actually Jurovich's second
go round with Schilling since the
legendary domain investor began his big
move into providing
services to other domain owners with
InternetTraffic.com and its
successor, DomaiNameSales
- the latter now a major power in
both the aftermarket and PPC
parking. With that company well
established, Jurovich left to tend
to his own business interests in Vancouver,
Canada (including VancouverRealEstate.com)
before returning to the fold with
Frank this week.

Uniregistry
Founder Frank Schilling |
Schilling
was understandably excited to
have Vern back on board,
saying, "I'm just delighted
to welcome Vern back to our
thriving team. Our greatest
contributors never truly leave
Uniregistry. We're a family,
on a mission together and it
shows in the spark, commitment
and vibrancy of the great
people who help move our ship
forward. Vern's oversight will
help shape our platform and
guide other members of the
team as we expand our
operations and grow
internationally."
Landing
Ward was also a coup for
Uniregistry. Michael, who was
most recently COO at major
registrar DirectNic,
has held management positions
at PIR (operator of the
.ORG registry), PPC provider Parked.com
and he was also Executive
Director of the Domainer
Mardi Gras domain
conference held in New
Orleans. |
At
Uniregistry Ward will be responsible
for registrar growth, marketing, and
product support for the benefit of
all registries and customers served
by the Uniregistry platform.
Schilling said, "Hiring Michael
to oversee the growth of our
registrar is like Bruce Wayne
hiring Alfred to keep the bat
cave in working order! We can all sleep
better knowing a man of
Michael's caliber and devotion is
there to keep our critical
infrastructure improving and growing." |
