Overseeing oversee.
by Lee, Booyeon
High-tech marketing company Oversee.net, which has built a $200
million business around generating traffic for domain names, has done so
over the past seven years without a chief technology officer.
The company's board recently appointed David Subar as the
200-person company's first person to hold the title.
Subar was previously chief information officer at Interthinx, a
fraud detection company that served financial firms. He has more than 18
years of experience in software development, mostly at startups,
including PeopleLink, an Idealab company, where he served as chief
technology officer.
Oversee.net, which started in a use dorm room, has experienced
explosive growth in recent years. Until now, the responsibilities of the
chief technology officer were shared by cofounders Laurence Ng and Fred
Hsu. Ng remains chief executive, and Hsu recently retired and has joined
the board.
