Scripted Announces Curtis Kroeker as New CEO at HubSpot's Inbound 2015
BOSTON, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Scripted is proud to announce that its Board of Directors has named Curtis Kroeker as the company's new Chief Executive Officer and President, effective immediately. Prior to Scripted, he served as the President of Marketplace Verticals -- a fast-growth portfolio of five online marketplaces -- for CoStar Group, Inc. On the heels of Scripted being named one of the fastest growing companies by Inc. 500, Kroeker's first priority will be to continue to increase the company's growth -- in addition to building an exciting future for content creators around the world.
"I am excited to join a talented, passionate team focused on transforming not only how our clients approach, utilize and generate content, but also the lives of freelancers around the world," said Kroeker.
As a graduate from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, Kroeker began his career as a consultant with McKinsey & Company helping clients develop and grow online businesses. Previously, he's also served as the General Manager of the Vehicles Division of eBay Motors and as the VP of Business Development for Wildfire Interactive which was acquired by GOOG.
"Curtis's marketplace experience, strong product and go-to-market background, and track record as a successful executive are ideally suited to help Scripted accelerate its growth trajectory," said Chris Moore of Redpoint Ventures, a member of Scripted's Board of Directors.
Kroeker joins Scripted at an exciting time when new product features have been added to help marketers globally receive high-quality written content. The company recently launched The Scripted Topic Marketplace, a feature where marketers can easily browse and order blog posts pitched by Scripted Writers with just one click.
"I am excited to work with the team to build an exciting, high-growth, profitable business that people love and that is a truly great place to work," Kroeker added. "I see the opportunity to enable anyone -- from individuals to enterprises -- to access a pool of world-class talent well beyond what they can find in their local market. Scripted will enable them to tap an unlimited pool of creative ideas and achieve a higher level of content quality than they previously imagined possible."
To date, Scripted has empowered freelance writers to deliver over 38 million words for thousands of businesses. Scripted's community of freelancers leverages their diverse expertise and interests to write blog posts, web copy and even tweets for businesses of all sizes and types from anywhere.
