LONDON (Alliance News) - CentralNic Group PLC said it has appointed to its board Desleigh Jameson, chief executive of Instra Group, the Australia-based internet domain name retailer that CentralNic acquired in December.
Jameson also will head up CentralNic's retail operations worldwide, CentralNic said. Executive Director Robert Pooke will retire from the board with immediate effect, but will continue on as a consultant to the company for the time being.
"Robert Pooke was instrumental in establishing a culture focussed on innovation and profitability in CentralNic, a culture which has been instrumental in our recent growth to become a leading global player in the domain name industry. On behalf of my board colleagues, I would like to thank Robert and to wish him every success for the future," said Chief Executive Officer Ben Crawford in a statement.
"I would also like to welcome Desleigh Jameson to the board. Desleigh's management skills and experience, in driving growth in domain name retailing and online brand protection, will be very valuable to delivering CentralNic's growth strategy," Crawford added.
Shares in CentralNic were down 0.4% at 50.80 pence Friday morning.
