Simon Heseltine’s Summary

After ~10 years as a software engineer, I was offered an opportunity to move into Search Engine Marketing. After several years of building up and managing a team of 6, working with several IYP sites, and several hundred leadsites, I moved over to the agency side and worked with a variety of clients in different industries ranging from Online Education to Newspapers.

In June of 2009 I moved over to AOL as a Senior Marketing Manager where I'm currently working on several sites in the sports & news verticals.
