Internet 'discovery engine' StumbleUpon has stumbled upon some brand new employees this week, and two have been imported straight from search seraph Google.
The two will fill directorial shoes, as Anthony Napolitano comes to the position of director of sales, and Oliver Hsiang assumes the mantle as the director of strategic partnerships. These additions highlight the company's overall expansion this year, according to founder and CEO of the start-up Garrett Camp.
"StumbleUpon has seen tremendous growth this year, including the addition of 15 new team members in the last three months alone," Camp said. "We look forward to adding Anthony's and Oliver's extensive experience and relationships to the mix to drive sales and develop new partnerships for StumbleUpon."
Napolitano has a strong all-around background, including time at Google, where he worked on partner development with Google Checkout, as a team leader for Google Analytics and finally as a senior account executive for Google TV ads. He has also previously completed tours at CNET and US sport network ESPN.
Hsiang will reportedly be working on developing agreements with other major internet players for StumbleUpon as the website presses forward its initiatives. Hsiang also worked a stint at Google, as a manager for strategic partnership development. Previously, he had held product manager positions at both Microsoft and Yahoo!
StumbleUpon offers users an internet experience that can be personalised to their individual tastes and according to their settings. The company has revealed that it has over 10 million registered users who have submitted 14 billion 'Stumbles', 1 billion ratings and over 100 million content shares to date. The site also facilitates more than 40,000 advertisers.
