BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Endurance
International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading provider of
cloud-based platform solutions to help small and medium-sized
businesses succeed online, today announced the appointment of
Brian Unruh as Executive Vice
President, International Operations and Jason Miner as General Manager of Endurance's
domain-focused brands, including Domain.com and the recently
acquired BuyDomains.
In his new role, Unruh will lead Endurance's continued expansion
into emerging markets including Latin
America and APAC. Unruh previously served as General Manager
of Endurance's domain-focused brands and was the General Manager of
Domain.com when the brand was acquired by Endurance in 2011.
Endurance is focusing on continued expansion of its web presence
solutions into emerging markets. Localized versions of its brands
today include HostGator in Brazil,
India, China, Singapore, Russia, and Turkey; Bluehost in Brazil, Russia, India, China
and Turkey; Domain.com in
China; and ResellerClub has
localized versions available in eight countries, including
Brazil, India, China,
and Turkey.
"Brian has been instrumental in expanding our offerings into
local markets, and he played an integral role in launching Bluehost
China, HostGator China, and HostGator Russia," said Hari Ravichandran, Chief Executive Officer of
Endurance. "We are excited about the potential for rapidly
expanding the Endurance footprint around the world, and Brian is
the perfect addition to our talented international business
leadership team."
Endurance's technology platform allows the company to utilize
common services for the benefit of its brands and to incorporate a
high level of localization, making it efficient for Endurance to
expand its offerings into new markets. Endurance is leveraging its
platform in new geographies through its own direct efforts, through
affiliates, and through partners such as Google.
In addition to expanding the International Operations team,
Endurance has appointed a new General Manager to fill Unruh's
previous role – Jason Miner. Miner,
former Chief Operating Officer of NameMedia, has been in the domain
business for nearly ten years and led BuyDomains to a market
leadership position in the acquisition and sales of premium domain
names. Miner and his team will work to expand Endurance's domain
services, including the integration of premium domains across the
Endurance platform.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jason to the Endurance family," said
Ron LaSalvia, Chief Operating
Officer of Endurance. "The recent BuyDomains acquisition not only
brought an exciting business, but a talented team as well. This
provides an opportunity for us to expand our domain leadership
team, which we believe will support the growth of this business and
leverage its capabilities across all of Endurance."
