Nevett headhunts top execs from three rivals
Public Interest Registry has filled out its executive team by poaching senior staff from rivals Afilias, Donuts and Neustar.
Judy Song-Marshall of Neustar has joined as chief of staff, Joe Abley of Afilias is the new chief technology officer and Anand Vora has joined from Donuts as VP of business affairs.
They’re the first senior level appointments to be announced since Donuts co-founder Jon Nevett was appointed CEO three months ago.
PIR, the non-profit which runs .org and related gTLDs, has also let it be known that it’s looking for a chief financial officer. The job ad can be found here.

PIR and Afilias are closely linked partners and collaborators, not rivals.
Joe Abley’s focus while at Afilias and (now) PIR benefited both organizations, and more importantly, a better and more stable Internet.
I meant the word as a synonym for “friendly competitor”.
Looks like Jon is putting together a good team. Congrats to all!
