I
have seen many domain "BuyNSell" sites and
found that Sedo is the best. It is a simple, easy to use
service and I am going to use it as long as I live. Keep it
up guys!

Sedo Executives Cross Atlantic in Different Directions To Take
On New Duties
Tim Schumacher, the
founder and CEO of Germany's Sedo Gmbh (the parent
company of American subsidiary Sedo.com LLC) is moving
to the United States. Schumacher will relocate to Cambridge,
Massachusetts, home base for the company's U.S. division,
where he will take on additional duties as the new CEO of Sedo.com
LLC.
At the same time, Matthew
Bentley, who has served as Sedo.com CEO since the division
was founded in 2004, heads in the opposite direction, bound
for parent company headquarters in Cologne, Germany
where he is slated to become the Chief Strategy Officer
of Sedo GmbH.
Schumacher
said “The U.S. market has become a cornerstone for Sedo’s
future growth. I felt the time was right for me to move closer
to this key market and lead our booming U.S. division through
the next phase of expansion.”
Sedo’s
American subsidiary has been the company’s fastest growing
division. Under the leadership of Bentley and President Ulrich
Essmann (who will continue to manage the U.S. office with
Schumacher), Sedo morphed from being primarily a European
player into one of the best-known worldwide brands in the
domain aftermarket. Sedo's market share in this space is close
to 70%.
“Matt’s
tenure as CEO of Sedo.com LLC was extremely successful”,
Schumacher said. “It’s hard to believe that just two years
ago the Sedo.com brand name didn’t even exist. Today, thanks
to the great work of Matt and his talented team in Cambridge,
the Sedo.com name has become synonymous with leadership in the
domain sales and domain parking spaces.”
In
recognition of his good work, Bentley has been offered the
newly created Chief Strategy Officer's position with the
parent company in Germany, effective March 1. In his new
role, Bentley will be responsible for mapping out market and
product strategy for the entire Sedo organization.

Sedo GmbH & Sedo.com
Matthew
Bentley Chief Strategy Officer
Sedo GmbH
“We’ve
put together an extremely talented team here in the U.S. and I
fully expect the growth and success of Sedo’s American
operations to continue under Tim’s leadership,” Bentley
said. “At the same time, I’m excited about applying
some of what we’ve learned in the U.S. market to improve
global product development and strategy for the entire
organization."
Sedo has
more than 3 million domains available for sale on it's global
network of sites. The company has attracted more than 300,000
members worldwide and helped more than 10,000 businesses
establish their web identity with a new domain name. In
addition to Sedo.com,
Sedo offers regional versions of its site for the UK (Sedo.co.uk),
France (Sedo.fr),
Germany (Sedo.de)
and Spain (eSedo.com).
