Witty said he was joining Netsertive at an exciting time.

“Netsertive is leading the transformation of the way brands and their agencies advertise locally, and I’m delighted to be a part of it,” Witty said in a news release.

As for Durand, he was the company’s vice president of business development, and now as Netsertive’s chief revenue officer, he will oversee revenue operations. That includes the sales, account management, and client services organizations.

Netsertive describes Durand as “an accomplished entrepreneur and executive,” stating that he has built several companies using his early experience at corporations such as GE, Eaton and Kimberly-Clark.

“He brings a strong understanding of the digital landscape to help clients achieve a clear return on advertising spend at the local level,” Netsertive wrote.

Netsertive chief executive officer Steve Leonard said the company was excited for Witty to join the leadership team and for Durand to expand his role in the company, stating that the current time is “a pivotal moment for us.”

More people than ever are conducting research on local services and products online, he added.
