Former AOL Chair Backs New Search Tech Startup ‘Clickable’

NEW YORK-BASED CLICKABLE ANNOUNCED THAT former AOL Chairman and CEO Jonathan Miller has joined the company’s Board of Directors.

The announcement comes on the heels of the search tech startup’s naming of Nielsen BuzzMetrics vet Max Kalehoff as its vice president of marketing, and a $6 million round of financing from Union Square Ventures.

The firm tapped Miller, whose experience includes senior executive roles at USA Information Services (parent company of Ticketmaster and Citysearch) and Viacom’s Nickelodeon/MTV Networks for his depth of industry experience, and skill at managing large-scale operations.

In Miller’s words, he joined the Board because Clickable’s product–a Web-based online ad management platform–is at the forefront of the “next wave” in interactive advertising.
