LinkSmart, Inc., the leading provider of text link optimization and management solutions for web sites, announced today the appointment of Perry Quinn as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Head of Publisher Development. In his new role, Quinn will lead the strategy and day-to-day execution of the company's publisher development and account management teams. Quinn joins LinkSmart after serving as Senior Vice President of Publisher Development at Federated Media Publishing.

"LinkSmart's business is rapidly growing and with the addition of Perry to our team we have the ability to accelerate that growth," said Pete Sheinbaum, Founder and CEO of LinkSmart. "Based on our recent success we quickly realized that we needed someone with Perry's experience and expertise to take us to the next level and someone who would be responsible for making sure that publishers continue to have great results with LinkSmart."

While at Federated Media, Quinn led the efforts to build and manage a base of nearly 150,000 web sites that by 2012 would account for the third largest network in the U.S., seeing roughly 190 million unique readers monthly. Prior to his work with Federated/Lijit, Quinn held senior roles at Sun Microsystems, Digital Camera Network, Chrome Industries, and TDA Advertising and Design.

"What attracted me to LinkSmart was the purity of the idea and its fundamental goal to provide more value to publishers with every reader visit to their website," said Quinn. "Joining this team and executing on its vision is incredibly exciting for me because the LinkSmart solution not only solves a big problem for the publishing industry, but also provides a large opportunity."
