Before Google, she held several positions at American Express including director of business development.
Bebo recently hired another former Google employee when it appointed Kate Burns managing director of its European operations. Burns is a former UK Google managing director.
Earlier this year Bebo was bought by AOL and the site now forms part of the company's newly created 'People Networks' business unit which combines Bebo, the AIM and ICQ personal communications network, widget technology company Goowy Media and social search and answer service Yedda.
