One of my favorite shows of all time was The West Wing.  Martin Sheen played President Bartlett and one of his catch phrases was asking his staff, “What’s next?” when he was ready to move on from the current topic.

As I start 2011, I decided to move on from my job as the technical lead for AIM and AOL Lifestream, and I am ready for “what’s next.”  Back in November, I reconnected with a friend of mine who works at Clearspring.  He asked me if I wanted to come by and see what was happening at Clearspring.

Well one thing lead to another, and I am super excited to join the team at Clearspring as their director of product for AddThis.  I am really looking forward to working with the team at Clearspring, lead by Hooman Radfar.  AddThis currently has 1 billion monthly unique users and is used by 7.2 million publishers.  Right before Christmas the team did a great job on releasing a set of analytic tools for publishers.

I can’t wait for what’s next at Clearspring and working with the team at delivering great experiences to both users and the publishers.
