White will be responsible for the company's sales efforts to

third executive to join Market Leader in just the past nine months,
following Chief Technology Officer Alex Lange and Chief Marketing

of revenue growth, and announced that it expects further
acceleration in the company's growth in the quarters ahead.
"We're excited to have Joe on board to unify our sales and
service efforts, and continue to drive the long term success of our
real estate professional customers," said Ian Morris, CEO of Market
Leader, Inc. "The level of talent we continue to attract to Market
Leader is a testament to the opportunity we have to establish
ourselves as the leading provider of software and marketing
solutions to the real estate industry."
White most recently served as President of Forensics Consulting
Services, a services and software company in the legal industry.
Prior to that as Executive Vice President of Sales at Attenex Inc.,
he helped lead the company from a start-up to an industry leader in
the legal software industry. The company was a member of the

being acquired by FTI Consulting in 2008.
Prior to Attenex, White served in executive roles for Aventail
Corporation, a network communications company, and Innuity, a
website development company targeting small to medium sized
businesses. Previously, he spent nine years at publically traded
