Android engineer moves to Coupons

Steve Horowitz has left Google and is moving to online coupons marketing agency Coupons as CTO, reports VNU Net.

"Our business is experiencing unprecedented growth, and as we extend our digital promotions platform to in-store, in-appliance and mobile phones, this is the ideal time for Steve to bring his deep experience to our team," says Coupons founder Steven Boal.

Horowitz was one of the leading lights on Android, developing the Linux-based operating system from the ground up. However, speculation is rife that with the operating system largely finished, he was looking for a new position.

Zedo has appointed Joseph Jacob as its CTO of the third-largest ad serving company in the world, states Media News Line.

Jacob will be responsible for driving Zedo's next-generation technology, which focuses on innovative targeting, serving and managing advertising inventory for Web publishers, social networks, advertisers and ad networks.

Jacob's technical excellence and belief in the need for pertinent real-time data, analytics and dashboards are examples of key areas that he has focused on to revamp Zedo's technology offerings, and resulted in widespread industry acclaim last year.

International law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has appointed Paul Domnick as global CIO, says Lawyer Press.

Domnick will be responsible for the firm's IT strategy and for the delivery of world-class IT infrastructure support.

Freshfields CEO Ted Burke said the strategic use of IT is important to the law firm and it has always taken an innovative and market-leading approach to IT development and deployment.
