Sam Wick Joins Userplane as Head of Business Development
I had heard about the appointment of Sam Wick to head Userplane's business development activities directly from Sam a few weeks ago, when I was in LA. The announcement only hit my inbox yesterday:
[via email]For Immediate Release
USERPLANE APPOINTS SAM WICK TO HEAD BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT;
WILL GROW ONLINE AUDIENCES IN ENTERTAINMENT, MEDIA SECTORSRecently Acquired by AOL, Company Announces Move to Larger HQ in Santa Monica,
Doubles Development Team to Expand Online Communication Platform
LOS ANGELES (October 3, 2006) – Userplane (www.userplane.com), a premier communication platform for online communities and a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, today announced the appointment of Sam Wick to spearhead the company’s business-development efforts. The company also announced that it is relocating to larger quarters in Santa Monica, Calif. and increasing its staff by 50 percent.
I met Sam through a relatively short consulting project I led for MECA a few years ago, his former employee, where he also led business development. We've remained friends, and I was actually the one that introduced Sam to Mike Jones, the CEO of Userplane.
Just another side effect of my consulting practice!
