Thomas
We've been intrigued by the flow of aQuantive talent out of Microsoft over the past few months -- tracking folks such as Brian McAndrews, Karl Siebrecht, Brent Turner and others as they land new gigs at companies around the Seattle area. Now, tiny Marketfish has hooked a former aQuantive manager who comes to the Seattle startup via Microsoft.
Andrew Thomas, who served as software development director at aQuantive for more than a decade, has joined Marketfish as chief technology officer. Thomas joined Microsoft after it acquired aQuantive in a $6 billion deal more than two years ago, managing the development of reporting applications across the Microsoft ad platform.
“My mission at Marketfish is to revolutionize online direct marketing through the application of leading-edge technology,” said Thomas in a statement. “aQuantive faced a similar challenge when I worked for them, so there’s some symmetry there we can draw from."
Marketfish has other connections to aQuantive, and its Razorfish unit. Former Razorfish CEO Clark Kokich is among the investors in the company, which just raised $2 million.
More on Marketfish from this TechFlash Q&A with founder and CEO Dave Scott.
And we'll be watching to see where the next aQuantive employee lands.
