Editor’s note: This article was first published in December 2010. Koro Castellano’s move to BuyVIP, the recent acquisitions of Tuenti by Telefónica and of BuyVIP by Amazon, and Tuenti’s new Barcelona offices and hiring all refer to that moment. Tuenti later changed its business considerably.
The war to attract good professionals at internet companies isn’t limited to the United States. Tuenti has lost its managing director, Koro Castellano, after she received an offer from BuyVIP.
We could speculate that, after Telefónica’s purchase of Tuenti, she may have seen her room for growth within Tuenti reduced, and so she has reached a good agreement with BuyVIP, a company that was also recently acquired by the giant Amazon, where she will probably be able to contribute her extensive experience in internet business.
We wish her luck in her career, since part of the Tuenti network’s success is owed to her.
As a reminder, Tuenti will be opening new offices in Barcelona and is looking for qualified staff to keep growing.
