-- Founder of Email Security Company Sendio to Head Online Information Company --
Irvine, Calif., December 21, 2009 -- Information Superbrand, Inc. (www.superbrand.net), an Orange County-based pioneer in relevant search and Internet marketing company, today announced that Tal Golan has been named CEO. He will oversee the company's technology platform and business strategy, which includes managing more than 1500 affinity-based web sites.
According to Founder and Chairman Eric J. Park, "We have experienced significant growth in the last several years. One of our properties, HuskerPedia.com, now reaches over 300,000 unique visitors per month and generates $1.5M+ in annual revenue. We are at a point where we need a leader with experience in technology development and corporate management. Tal brings a perfect blend of skills that will help us reach our goals in 2010 and beyond, including building a strong team and creating a significant market presence in the online marketing sector."
Golan remains on the board of Sendio, Inc., the email security company he founded in 2003 in response to the escalating attacks that were occurring on the email systems of a number of other companies he had created. He entered the high-tech industry working for the Multimedia and Digital Video Laboratory at Pixel Multimedia in Tel Aviv, and prior to founding Sendio Golan founded OpticNerve, Inc., a software development and consulting firm developing enterprise-level Internet applications. He is an expert in SMTP, Java, Linux, SQL, cryptography, PHP, Python, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and has extensive experience as an architect and implementer of Web-based applications. He holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Brandeis University.
Golan says, "iSi has some unique ideas and concepts within the realm of Internet marketing, and I think the company is positioned to succeed in a very competitive marketplace. Today's consumers are bombarded by more than 5,000 ads every day, which has created such an extreme information overload that most campaigns simply aren't working. In 1995, iSi discovered how to deliver 'Credibility at the Point of Need' that benefits both consumers and marketers alike, and I am excited to help build an organization that is transforming how information is delivered online."
