Every two weeks, Search Influence’s Kelly Benish — who knows practically everyone in hyperlocal — covers some of the latest job changes taking place in this dynamic industry. (Plus, scroll down for jobs on offer now.)

Joseph Dressler – LiveIntent
Joseph has joined the actionable e-mail display ad platform LiveIntent as VP of national sales. He was previously the multi-titled VP of national sales, sponsorship, and advertising at The Competitor Group. He also has an impressive history of working for major publishing muscle including Hearst, Dow Jones and Smart Money. Joseph seems to be like a great fit for the LiveIntent team, he will be joining one of my faves in business and VP of client services there, Steve McLaughlin.

Ben Saren – CO Everywhere
Location and experience-based mobile app CO Everywhere just brought on one of my old friends Ben Saren last month. Ben has been charged with cultivating partnerships and developing out the platform. Some of you may know that name from the past when Ben was co-founder and CEO of Citysquares. He left local for a bit as VP of marketing for Litle and Co. a payments company, but now he’s back and better than ever. He’s looking forward to the Street Fight’s Local Data Summit in Denver in two weeks, so make sure you pull him aside and say hello.

Dave Bussin – PlaceIQ
Dave is coming to PlaceIQ from digital advertising platform Turn. With a long history in sales and business development for Google and Xtopoly it seemed like PlaceIQ was a great place for him to land. Dave just started there as their senior sales director tasked with selling their location intelligence, which enables advertisers to reach and define mobile brand audiences at scale for a wide range of marketing activities.

Susan Wojcicki – YouTube
Google recently appointed SVP of ads and commerce Susan Wojcicki to head up YouTube in an effort to improve ad revenue. The expectation is that Wojcicki will replace Salar Kamangar, whom many are thinking will move into a new role. Initially reported by The Information, there were a couple of reports that Kamangar previously discussed moving to a new role last year after remaining in the same role since 2010.

Peter Naylor – Hulu
Hulu is hoping to reinvigorate its share of online advertising dollars by bringing on some fresh sales talent. The company reportedly will be bringing aboard Peter Naylor as its new SVP of Sales. Most recently known as EVP of sales at NBC News Digital, Naylor has worked across several different areas at the network including entertainment and sports. In his new role, Naylor will be responsible for managing interim head of sales Jim O’Donnell. O’Donnell will soon report to Naylor as VP of West Coast advertising  and sales operations.
