Mitch Lazar joins Taptu board

Former Yahoo kingpin pitches up at UK search firm.

Lazar was Yahoo’s European Mobile MD until he stepped down last month as part of a restructuring at the company.

He now joins the board at Cambridge-based Taptu, which is a mobile-only search specialist that indexes mobile sites, apps and images. Taptu will tap into Lazar’s expertise as it tries to create search technology for touchscreen devices.

Lazar said: “Taptu’s unique platform and index differentiate the company from the search giants and more importantly, put it at the heart of a tremendous opportunity to grow its advertising revenue stream by taking advantage of this important and revolutionary consumer change in the mobile industry.”
