Wisk, 49, has been promoted to President of MyPoints.com, Inc., the company’s online loyalty marketing service within the Classmates Media segment. Both appointments are effective December 1, 2008.

Taragan joined United Online in 2000 and most recently served as Executive Vice President of Operations with management responsibility for the Communications segment’s technology, customer relationship management and operations functions in the U.S. and India. Wisk joined United Online in 2005 as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer with responsibility for marketing functions within the Communications segment and has also assumed operating responsibility for the Communication segment’s broadband and Web hosting product lines.

“I am thrilled to announce the promotion of Rusty Taragan to President of the Communications segment and Matt Wisk to the President of our MyPoints business within the Classmates Media segment. These promotions follow the recent appointment of Robert Apatoff as President of FTD and the promotion of Steven McArthur to President of the Classmates Media segment and help to streamline the management structure of United Online so that it is perfectly aligned with our three operating segments,” said Mark R. Goldston, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of United Online.

“Rusty Taragan is an outstanding operating executive and his deep experience after eight years of handling increased responsibility within our Communications segment makes him the ideal choice for the newly-created President role at that unit. Matt Wisk’s promotion to President of MyPoints demonstrates my confidence in his leadership ability and will leverage his proven marketing talents to further broaden the MyPoints program’s appeal for consumers and advertisers,” said Goldston. “The promotion of these talented executives underscores the significant management depth that has been a hallmark of United Online for many years and provides continuity, knowledge and proven operating experience that will benefit the Communications segment and MyPoints going forward,” added Goldston.

Wisk assumes a role previously held by John Fullmer, who will retire from MyPoints after making invaluable contributions to the company’s growth and prosperity during many years in top leadership positions.
