Domain
Consultant, Investor & Writer Joseph
Peterson Joins Epik as Director of Operations

Veteran
domain industry branding consultant,
investor and writer Joseph
Peterson has joined Epik
Holdings, Inc. as
Director of Operations (Joseph is
also a veteran in the original military sense
of the word having spent eight years
as a Navy submarine officer)!
Peterson entered the domain world in
2011 after leaving active duty and
had an immediate impact with most
first becoming familiar with him
through his very well written,
thoughtful commentary on industry
issues. Initially that came in
insightful posts on leading industry
blogs, then in 2014 became more
formalized when he became a regular
contributor at DomainNameWire.com.
At
Epik Peterson will oversee process
improvements, manage customer
relations, coordinate outreach,
advise the company and its clients
on strategy, and pursue new
development initiatives related to
naming, online presence, and the
domain market.
Peterson
said, “What most impresses
me about Epik is the team’s
readiness to innovate. Here we have
a global company with talent
spanning Brazil, Europe, and North
America; yet they’re surprisingly
nimble. And while most of the
domain industry is resting on its
laurels, Epik management believes
they have a mandate to reshape
the entire field. And why
not?

It’s
time. We have emerging markets
to bring online, new domain use
cases to explore, a longstanding
consumer awareness gap to close, and
a wealth of digital brands awaiting
the right owner. There’s much to
be done."
Peterson
added, "I’m excited to work
once more as part of a team – in
particular, to explore new ways to
pair names with projects, boost
liquidity for domain investors, and
broaden participation in the domain
market overall. Epik and I were
already traveling in the same
direction. It just makes sense to
get there together.”
Over
the past six years in this industry
Peterson has been involved in market
analysis, branding consultancy,
domain portfolio management,
buyer-side brokerage, and software
projects, in addition to his
prolific writing.

CEO Rob Monster |
Epik
CEO Rob Monster said, “I am
beyond delighted to welcome Joseph
into the fast-growing Epik team as
Director of Operations. This
appointment comes during a time of
accelerating global growth. I have
come to know Joseph as a visionary
with a strategic mind, very high
attention to detail, a prolific work
ethic, and uncompromising personal
and professional integrity. I look
forward to partnering with Joseph to
do amazing things.”
This
announcement arrives on the heels of
Epik’s acquisition
of marketplace and auction platform Undeveloped.com
earlier this
month. Rob Monster was also in the
new in February when we told you
about his new domain-based
project for cities
called Smart Web in
partnership with DigitalTown
and operators of descriptive TLD
registries.
