My specialty? Domain names. My passion also. After my scales for 5 years in various positions at Sedo, the leading global purchase-sale and monetization of domain names, I joined in June 2009 the company Virtual Network to occupy the post of Director of Business Development (more info here).

I always thought that the full and active which is the domain name does not often receive the attention it deserves and have therefore decided in 2008, along with my professional activities, to engage actively educating the market through various publications as part of this blog.
