Matt Overman, hires Dwayne Walker — Rightside promotes
Former NameJet GM gets a promotion and Dwayne Walker jumps from Oversee.net to Rightside.
Matt Overman, formerly General Manager of NameJet, has a fresh role at Rightside.
As stated by Rightside’s Executive Leadership page, Overman is now VP & GM, Aftermarket and Premium Domains. His bio describes his responsibilities as covering the “monetization and premium domain sales business”.
In another domain name industry executive move, Dwayne Walker has joined Rightside as SVP of Business Development.
Walker previously headed up business development for DomainSponsor, which was part of Oversee.net. Walker remained with Oversee.net when the parking firm was sold to Rook Media in April.
As stated by Walker’s LinkedIn profile, he joined Rightside in June. I’m not aware of any public notice regarding it, and he just recently updated his LinkedIn profile.
It’s an exciting week ahead for Rightside. It will officially be its own separate firm, no longer part of Demand Media, and will begin trading on the NASDAQ as NAME on Monday.
