Social networking website Bebo has made its first Australia appointment, hiring former Yahoo!7 group sales manager, Francisco Codero, as general manager.
Codero will look after both Australia and New Zealand in the new role, based out of Sydney. He will be responsible for establishing Bebo’s presence in both markets and building relationships with both clients and agencies.
Mark Charkin, international head of sales at Bebo said: “The appointment to the company of an executive of the calibre of Francisco Cordero reflects our ongoing commitment to the Australian and New Zealand markets. Francisco has a great depth of knowledge of these advanced and complex markets and extensive management experience. We are confident that he will continue to develop long term value for both brands and our users alike.”
More than 35 million people have joined Bebo, and it is the largest social networking site in UK, Ireland and New Zealand and one of the top three social networks in the US, Canada and Australia.
