Effective August 1, 2008, Bentley will transition out of his operational role at
Sedo, but will remain close to the company in a non-operative role as Strategic
Advisor.
“Together with Sedo’s founders, Matt has played an important
role in helping Sedo become the recognized, global domain marketplace leader it
is today,” said Tim Schumacher, CEO and co-founder of Sedo. “Matt will no doubt
continue to be a tremendous asset to Sedo in his new advisory role. We thank him
for his years of dedication and wish him success in his future
endeavors.”
Bentley joined Sedo in 2002 as Director of International
Operations, and one of the first dozen employees at the company.
He
played a central role in helping to expand Sedo's global footprint outside of
Germany, in particular by launching (together with Sedo Co-founder and President
Ulrich Essmann) Sedo's U.S. subsidiary company Sedo.com, LLC in 2004. Bentley
served as CEO of Sedo.com for two years before returning to Germany to assume
his current role.
Bentley also played a key role in shaping Sedo's
successful domain parking product, forging one of the industry's first parking
partnerships with Google, and managing the launch of Sedo's premium brand for
domain professionals, SedoPro.
“It has been an incredibly rewarding
experience to participate in Sedo’s worldwide growth and witness the company’s
emergence as a dominant player in the market,” said Matt Bentley.
“I’m
definitely going to miss working with the many great people there, but the time
was right for me to find a new challenge. Sedo is a strong organization, and I
expect to see the company continue to thrive at the forefront of the domain
industry.”

Engine for Domain Offers,” is the leading online marketplace for buying and
