Jeff Pullen COO Latest to Leave CJ..

Interesting announcement on Revenue today..

Pullen Out of Commission Junction

I've been meaning to pull together something on CJ and it's recent problems with people leaving. I never got to it in time and now it's just been announced that ValueClick COO Jeff Pullen has resigned.

Jim Zarley, ValueClick's chairman and CEO, will take over for Pullen along with Tom Vadnais, who was named as president. Vadnais is also currently the general manager of Commission Junction and Mediaplex, and a member of the board of directors. Vadnais joined ValueClick in 2001 through its acquisition of Mediaplex, where he was president and CEO.

Pullen, who joined ValueClick in 2003 when it bought Commission Junction where he was president and CEO, is among a string of execs to leave CJ recently. Elizabeth Cholawsky (SVP, marketing and product development) and Todd Crawford (VP of sales) left several months ago. Crawford recently resurfaced as VP of sales and business development at OneNetwork.

Seems like very few of the original CJ staff left after the acquisition.

How about their UK staff? I've lost track of who to deal with now, which is a shame, as they still have some good travel accounts, if only they'd pull their finger out and promote them properly!

Is Jon Forster still running the show?
