As you might have guessed from our job posting for sales staff in NY, we've just hired a head of NY Sales, Chris Frerecks. Chris is at this moment finding office space and interviewing staff in New York. He's been passionate about web-based media since the mid' 90's, having worked for various high profile properties, including Wired and Marketwatch. In 2002, he and a partner created Directory Xpress, Inc. and MyInfoPage in order to develop blog solutions for the local enterprise. More recently he took on the role of National Director of Sales for Umbria, a data-mining concern based in Boulder, CO. If you're on the East coast and want to contact Chris, ping him at cfrerecks@federatedmedia.net.
Welcome to FM, Chris!
(Oct. 3) Update on Chris:
We want to thank Chris Frerecks -- a good one that got away. Chris was an enormous help in opening FM's NY office, and we're grateful for his leadership and initiative. Unfortunately Chris and his wife, Melissa, could not make the permanent move to New York from Denver. We wish him well.

A terrific person and great hire on a number of levels. A classic "type A" totally committed to the customer. His word is his bond. Chris is the kind of a guy who constantly strives to "raise the bar"...whether it's for himself, his team, or the organization. As a former colleague I came to really appreciate Chris' intellect (he tought me a ton about all things Web 2.0), enthusiasm, and contribution. You guys made a great hire! Nicely done.
