Elisabeth Kurek, Marketing and Hosting veteran, joins uberall as VP Partner Growth

uberall, the company behind the Location Marketing Cloud, happily announced Elisabeth Kurek as its new VP for Partner Growth. Elisabeth joins the company from Virtuozzo, the Seattle-based virtualization firm, where she was Senior Director of Marketing.

Martin Scholz, SVP Partnerships for uberall described Elisabeth’s joining the company as a “significant addition” to the team: “Elisabeth is an industry veteran - she brings years of experience and expertise with her to the company, and we look forward to working with her to further develop our partner growth team, helping our partners to boost their business with us, and continuing our expansion into the American market.”

Elisabeth commented: “Local listings are important for the success of businesses today. With more and more people searching on mobile devices, businesses must have consistent and up-to-date information across all relevant directories like Google, Facebook, Yelp. This can be highly overwhelming for a small business. The uberall product line provides our partners with a unique opportunity to offer their SMB customers an easy solution to manage their online listings, and generate revenue. I’m really excited to join such a wonderful team in such an ambitious and expanding company - I’m looking forward to really getting stuck in.”

In addition to her activities with uberall, Elisabeth will be speaking on a panel of Hosting industry experts at HostingCon on Tuesday 4th April in LA. The panel, “The Power of Parental Leave” forms part of the Gender Diversity & Equity Session. It includes experts from across the industry, including Automattic, ePages, GoDaddy, and SpamExperts, and will look at how a range of issues involving parental leave intersect with business performance.
