Series B Funding Secured & A New COO
As 2008 comes to an end, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve topped off a year we’re incredibly proud of with some great news. We announced today that Andreas Bernstrom has joined Taptu as Chief Operating Officer and that we’ve secured a second round of funding. We secured £6.45 million with our existing investors, 3i and Sofinnova, who are as excited as we are about the past 12 months and Taptu’s growth potential.
Andreas joins us, bringing 10 years of experience working with TradeDoubler, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. He will be helping us drive Taptu forward and play an important part in developing our business presence overseas.
We’ll be inviting Andreas to introduce himself on the blog in the near future so sign up to our RSS feed if you haven’t already done so, to hear the latest news as they happen!
