Rick Boyce joins the Board of .green, a new domain space for business and marketing in the global green economy.

DotGreen Community, Inc., the steward of the world’s first environmental Top Level Domain (TLD) for corporate social responsibility, is pleased to announce that Internet advertising pioneer and “Hall of Famer,” Rick Boyce, has joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Boyce was formerly VP of Advertising Sales for Monster Worldwide and is currently Head of Corporate Sales with Quantcast.

Mr. Boyce brings to the .green Board extensive experience in the Internet industry. He is best known as the founding Sales Director at Wired Digital, where he spearheaded a team in 1994 that sold the first Internet banner ads. After Boyce’s tenure at Wired Digital, he became the President and Board Member of IGN Entertainment, Inc. Rick Boyce was named to the first ever Advertising Age “Interactive Hall of Fame” in 2000.

“The launch of .green is the opportunity for Marketing Agents to address a $5 trillion industry,” said Boyce. “A .green domain name is a natural component for any company that chooses to target this growing audience with their products, services, green business strategies and CSR initiatives.”

“Green” is a 50 year-old internationally recognized term that is now available as a new Top Level Domain for companies engaged in a growing green economy. .green is partnered with Afilias to ensure security and support and, through a separate partnership with the DotGreen Foundation, it commits a percentage of its revenue to Earthshare. 

“.green is a very important initiative for the future and that’s why we are thrilled to welcome Rick,” said Annalisa Roger, CEO and Founder of DotGreen Community, Inc. “Rick’s enthusiasm for the .green value proposition for businesses, and his wholehearted support in helping to create Internet change for good is exactly what we are looking for in a board member.”

As a veteran of the Internet industry, Boyce’s insights and experience will help propel the .green movement during its three-phase launch in 2015.  For more information please visit nic.green.
