Welcome David!

Monday, November 7th, 2011

A little late I know… please welcome David Van der Krogt to the UK email team. David is Dutch and will be helping Mieke with the Dutch and Belgian email campaigns.

David comes to us after working at Apple, where he helped customers use their new Macs.  We promised him we would try our very hardest not exploit his Mac knowledge…not too much anyway!

He’s an avid cyclist and cycles everywhere in London (very brave…), he even built his own bike! He considers himself to be a bit of a ‘nork’ (nerd and a dork) I guess this is down to his love of playing games and watching brainless TV!   We’re very lucky to have David as part of the Intela family.

Intela introduces Toby Harris, Chief Financial Officer.

Friday, November 4th, 2011

We are really excited to introduce Toby Harris as Chief Financial Officer here at Intela!  Toby’s has an impressive track record, to find out more, please read the press release here

A new addition to the US!

Monday, October 31st, 2011

 

I have the pleasure of introducing Sarah Farrell, the newest recruit to the US office and the Intela family!

Sarah joined the development team on Monday, as a Java developer, bringing with her over 12 years software engineering experience.  She has previously worked for Quris, Front Range Community College, XOR and GHX… so their loss is our gain!

Sarah has definitely kept herself busy over the years, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a minor in Math and when she’s not backpacking, camping or hiking, Sarah like to spend her free time doing beadwork or ‘beading’.

So Sarah, here’s a big welcome from all here at Intela!

Lucky us! We Have a New Intern Here in the UK!

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Welcome to Intela Lotte! Lotte has just joined the Lead GeN team this week and will be with Intela for 6 months as an intern here in the UK office. She will be helping the team out with reporting duties as well as experiencing and learning all about the online marketing industry from the experts we have here!

After obtaining her Masters Degree in applied economics in Belgium, Lotte wants to spend time experiencing an international marketing environment whilst discovering the joys of London!

In her spare time, Lotte likes to go jogging, spend time with friends and go out dancing. She’s always in the mood for a good laugh and a drink, (a re-occurring theme here at Intela…).

Welcome to the family Lotte! We all hope you enjoy/learn (and don’t have TOO many hangovers) from your time here!

New Recruit to the US IT Team!

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Please join me in welcoming Jon Thorson to the Intela US office! Jon joins the IT team as a System/Network Administrator and has over 18 years of system/network experience and has been in front of computers since he was 6 years old.  Most recently he worked as a system engineer for SRT Communications, in Minot, ND.

Jon T. is filling the opening created by John Bullock’s previously announced resignation.  Over the next few weeks John B will be transitioning his responsibility (and name!) to Jon T.

Jon T. is married and has two kids and enjoys baseball and riding his motorcycle (not at the same time we hope).

Welcome to the Intela family Jon!

A New Addition to the Lead Generation Team!

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Xavier Penades joined the Intela family on Thursday, September 1, 2011 and is working as an Online Marketing Executive in the European LeadGen team, with a main focus on Spain.

Before joining Intela, Xavier worked in Ads & Tea, an online marketing agency in London. His previous experience as Marketing Exec in an offline marketing company in Spain will definitely be a great asset for our creative projects. Xavier also has a degree in Advertising and Public Relations!

Xavier’s hobbies and interests include sports, (mainly football and cycling) art, design, architecture and photography. He likes to walk through the city of London taking pictures (of the architecture I’m presuming but don’t hold me to that…)

Many of you have already met him on our wild boat trip. Please join me in welcoming him to Intela!

Welcome to the Intela Family Joe!

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Joe is the new web developer and designer at Intela in the UK and will be working on many aspects of the companies user-facing and internal web infrastructure: from designing interfaces to squishing bugs!

Before Intela, Joe has been working as a consulting and freelance front-end developer since 2007, working with organizations of all sizes, from multi-nationals to start-ups and everything in between! Before that he was a solicitor practicing commercial law. (He asks that we please don’t hold that against him!)

Joe is half Swedish and half English. Because of this, Joe enjoys herring and saunas and his English side means he also enjoys complaining about the weather and never performs adequately at international football tournaments.

Joe loves all things web and design related and spends far too much time pouring over HTML markup and playing Minecraft.

Joe was once a European ranked junior amateur boxer and one of his proudest moment was winning a UK-wide Mario Kart tournament when he was 12.

Welcome to Intela Joe!

A New Addition to the US Development Team!

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

A massive welcome to Tony Bebber who is the latest addition to the Intela family in the US!

Tony started on Monday and has joined the development team as a UI developer. He has plenty of experience and will be a great asset to Intela with over 6 years in the role and previously working for Media Breakaway (one of our competitors). Tony also has a degree in Art!

Tony and his wife have a beautiful ten-week old baby boy called Liam and when he isn’t busy changing diapers and the like, Tony can most likely be found playing hockey which is a sport he has loved since childhood!

Welcome to Intela Tony!

Another Warm Welcome to Intela!

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

The UK office is bursting at the seams with a further new recruit to our team (Not because he is large, we’re just getting pretty busy now). Please welcome Felipe Uribe Restrepo!

Felipe is our brand new Production Analyst and now that he has finally figured out what he is supposed to be doing here* he will be helping Anais with some of her duties including checking the campaigns and troubleshooting, uploading the creative and updating the leads.

Felipe was born in Bogota, Colombia (2600 meters closer to the stars!)  Where he gained a Bachelor’s in Advertising/Marketing Communications. He has previously worked for Land Rover and Jaguar and as a copywriter for Leo Burnet.

In Felipe’s spare time he likes to do a bit of photography, going out “taking pictures here and there” as he says. He is also really keen on Tennis although claims he is not a great player at the moment…. Surely he picked up some good techniques when he saw Djokovic play at Wimbledon this year though!

*Only joking!
