Some pretty serious additions this week. The volume wasn't particularly high for overall additions, but there were some high quality executives added this week. This week I am highlighting John Mracek, the new CEO of Netseer. Netseer develops search and ad targeting technology. John's previous roles at Yahoo, Shopping.com and Adknowledge seem to be a perfect match for Netseer.
