Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh Will Headline DOMAINfest Global 2010
Los Angeles. (September 23, 2009) - DomainSponsor®, the domain monetization division of Oversee.net®, announced today that Tony Hsieh will be the keynote speaker at the fourth annual DOMAINfest Global® (DFG) event, scheduled for January 26-28, 2010 in Santa Monica, California.
The Zappos CEO is one of the most respected and successful business innovators in the new economy. Founded in 2000 on the basis of new approaches to marketing, human resource management and customer service, Zappos grew to a $1billion-a-year online retailer. The company was recognized by Fast Company magazine as one of the world's 50 most innovative companies. Hsieh and his team recently sold Zappos to Amazon.com for more than $850 million. "We're delighted to have Tony Hsieh join us as keynote speaker at our 2010 event," said Oversee CEO and President Jeff Kupietzky. "His fresh thinking, insights related to online consumer behaviors and needs, and intelligent risk-taking have set new standards for how to succeed in e-commerce. DOMAINfest has always been a breeding ground for new ideas on how get the most out of a domain name investment, so Tony's fireside chat will provide our guests with plenty of innovative ideas and inspiration." Hsieh, a 35-year-old Harvard graduate, has been developing innovative business approaches since the height of the first Internet era. He built the Web advertising company LinkExchange into a multi-million dollar enterprise before selling it to Microsoft for $265 million in 1998. He recently purchased Clothes.com for $4.9 million, again signaling his understanding of the connection between Internet real estate, marketing and brand power. As keynoter, Hsieh joins the roster of other famous innovators appearing at DFG. Last year, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, keynoted the conference with a discussion about the future of the internet and innovative computing.
