Australian who co-founded Domain Guardians to move to U.S. for role.
DNC Holdings (DirectNic) announced today that it has hired Mike Robertson as Business Development Director.
A familiar face (and Australian accent) at domain conferences, Robertson previously co-founded Domain Guardians. Domain Guardians started as a sort of estate planning system for domain name owners. It later shifted into other domainer-focused products including domain brokerage. The company handled the $1.0 million sale of BTC.com.
Robertson got his start in the domain business as business development manager for Fabulous, an Australian domain name registrar.
At DNC Holdings, Robertson will head up activities for aftermarket, monetization and account management programs. He will be relocating to the United States.
DNC Holdings recently promoted Kellie Peterson to President, and it seems the company is in expansion mode.

Mike is a stellar guy, and a great asset to every company that would hire him.
Meyer says
I agree with Theo. Mike is a great person. Very intelligent, a lot of market savvy, very personable. I am sure he will acquire a taste for Shrimp Gumbo.
Mike- Congratulations.
Mike Robertson says
Thanks for the coverage Andrew – greatly appreciated. I’m excited to be joining the DNC team in Tampa and can’t wait to start this new challenge.
Cheers for the kind words Theo and Meyer.
On a side note, I’ve been asked a number of times (privately) now, so thought I should address it here; What does this mean for DomainGuardians.com?
I will still remain a shareholder and director of the company, however, I’m temporarily taking a step back from the day-to-day operations, leaving Jen Sale at the helm. I’ll also advise and consult where and when time permits.
