CNET Networks UK

Jill Orr

Managing Director & Vice President, CNET Networks UK

Brief job history:

I joined CNET Networks UK in 1998 and my initial responsibility was business development across Europe before I moved to head up product development for the UK business – focusing on the B2B portfolio.   In 2005 I was asked to head up the consumer division of CNET Networks UK and I launched CNET.co.uk and GameSpot UK.

Prior to working for CNET Networks UK, I was based in San Francisco and worked for IDG leading the development of their online advertising network spanning 240+ web sites worldwide.

Best decision:

Moving from print to online publishing in 1996

Worst decision:

Arriving in Ecuador with no money, no Spanish, no idea of where I was going and no plan.  Adventure travel at its best...

Favourite quote:
