She will report to Shields, who, in her dual role as Bebo chief
executive and president of AOL People Networks, will turn her attention
to Bebo's global presence, as well as integrating the firm into parent
company AOL.
Burns, who joined Dailymotion only in April, will roll out local Bebo
sites across countries including France, Germany and The
Netherlands.
Since leaving Google in June 2006, Burns has taken a number of
positions, including head of search at ad network AdLink, as well as
working for search marketing firm SearchRev, Signature and affiliate
network Buy.at.
