Former Adicio VP joins RealMatch
Terry Baker, who spent more than six years at Adicio, is now chief revenue officer for competitor RealMatch, publisher of The Job Network. He announced his appointment in a note today:
“I’m pleased to announce that the vision I’ve pursued at Amped Market Place Inc. to help digital media companies amplify their recruitment business is being “AMPed” through a partnership with RealMatch, Inc….The interests of AMP have merged with RealMatch and I have joined them as their Chief Revenue Officer.”
… whatever that means. Good grief. And we’ve tried calling him a couple of times without success.
Baker served as VP at Hire.com before he joined Adicio. He’s also worked with Madgex, a UK-based competitor to Adicio and RealMatch. He started Amped in August 2010; it’s not clear whether he’s shutting it down, incorporating it into his work with RealMatch, or planning to operate it as a separate company.
