Ask Jeeves, Inc., the Web search company, announced this week
that Jeremy Rosenblatt, 47, has joined the company as Chief Technology Officer.
As CTO, Jeremy will be responsible for guiding the technology direction of Jeeves
Solutions, Ask Jeeves' enterprise software division, and also its Web Properties
division. He will steer the integration of acquired technologies and promote
excellence in Ask Jeeves' core technology areas: natural language, search, and
analytics.
Rosenblatt has more than twenty years' experience working with
enterprise software companies as well as large media properties. Most recently,
Rosenblatt served as CTO of ePhones, a multi-faceted e-commerce provider. Previously,
Rosenblatt spent eight years delivering enterprise-class systems at Mosaix (now
part of Avaya) for Fortune 500 companies.
However, many in the genealogy world will recognize Jeremy Rosenblatt’s
name from the position he held before Mosaix. He served as the vice president
of engineering and operations at RootsWeb, now a division of My Family, Inc.,
the largest free genealogy site in the world. At RootsWeb he was responsible
for all technical operations, including the company's production data center
that serves more than 100 million Web pages and 160 million subscriber e-mails
per month.
