SearchRev Europe Hires Former Google UK Chief Kate Burns as Board
Advisor
LONDON & PALO ALTO, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 24, 2007 --
SearchRev, a leading developer and provider of Search Engine Marketing
(SEM) technology solutions, today announced the appointment of Kate
Burns as Board Advisor to its newly established London based European
Operation. Previously Burns founded and grew Google’s
European operations, starting in 2001 and building it in five years to a
team of over 200 and delivering over $1.5 billion in revenue.
In her new role at SearchRev, Burns will work closely with Joint
Managing Directors Mark Hindmarsh and Peter Jones, who recently
established SearchRev Europe, to position the company as a major SEM
technology solutions provider to media agencies, in-house PPC teams and
specialist SEM agencies.
“I have looked at a number of credible
companies in this market space,” says Burns, “but
the Precision View platform offered by SearchRev appears to be exactly
what the European market needs. I am excited to help deliver this
solution to new customers.”
In addition to her experience with Google, Burns also worked at Alta
Vista and DoubleClick in Europe.
“We are extremely pleased and very fortunate
to have Kate working with us,” states Eduardo
Llach, SearchRev Founder and COO. “Her
background, network and knowledge of the search landscape will be
invaluable in assisting us with the development and expansion of our
European business.”
“For us in the UK office, having Kate join our
team further validates SearchRev’s world
class SEM technology solution which consistently outperforms its rivals
while over delivering for clients,” says
co-managing director Peter Jones. “The market
has already responded well to the arrival of SearchRev in Europe and now
with Kate coming on board, we are an even stronger competitor.”
SearchRev Europe enters a very robust market. According to a recent
Online Adspend Study, the Paid Search market in the UK and Europe has
grown over 40 percent between 2005 and 2006. Although official figures
for the current year have not been published, some estimate the total
bill for UK paid search in 2006 to top $2.2 billion, an increase of 65
percent over the previous year.
