Departures & Changes: Natala Menezes, Kevin Ryan & Lisa Barone

Three people in the search marketing space have had job changes this week: Lisa Barone, Kevin Ryan and Natala Menezes. Below, a look at where they are heading.

Natala Menezes is known to many as a dynamo who advocated for Microsoft adCenter as lead product manager. But it’s her last day today at Microsoft, as she heads out to a new challenge as director of product management at TeachStreet. All the best, Natala!

Kevin Ryan was named vice president of Search Engine Watch and the Search Engine Strategies conference series last year. Stewart Quealy (who I worked with for many years) now takes over that role in the new vice president of content for SES.

Kevin will continue to be involved with the series as chairman of the SES Advisory Board, and he’ll continue to write a column for Search Engine Watch. He’s also returning to the interactive marketing trenches as CEO of Motivity Marketing. Congrats, Stewart. And best going forward, Kevin!

Lisa Barone is a long-time blogger for Bruce Clay, known to many for her live conference reports filled both with wit and information. She announced a week ago that she was leaving to return to the East Coast, her home. Friday was her last day, and she heads out to a new job this week (what that is, she hasn’t yet said – stay tuned for a postscript). Good luck with the new gig and welcome home, in advance.
