“Jim and I, and the rest of the team, have worked hard to make ValueClick one of the largest and most comprehensive online marketing companies in the world, and I welcome the opportunity to help lead ValueClick during this exciting time for the Company and the industry,” said Tom A. Vadnais, chief executive officer of ValueClick. “My focus will be on continuing ValueClick’s successful track record and capitalizing on the opportunities that exist for all of our businesses.”
