Domain name industry veteran moves to Neustar, where she’ll develop channel partnerships for domains sch as .co and .nyc.
Kellie Peterson has left the President’s post at DNC Holdings (DirectNic) to join Neustar’s registry services team.
At Neustar, Peterson will be responsible for growing the North American and Australian registry services markets. She will focus on growing Neustar’s managed domain name extensions (.Co, .nyc, .biz and .US).
Kellie Peterson will team up with another Peterson — Crystal Peterson — who is Director of Registry Services at Neustar. Crystal Peterson joined Neustar a year ago as part of the .Co acquisition.
Kellie Peterson held the roles of Chief Strategy Officer and then President at DNC Holdings. Before that, she ran the Domain Business Unit at Endurance International. Prior to Endurance, Peterson was Executive Vice President at Name.com.
In addition to knowing the ins and outs of the domain name business, I’m also told she also knows a thing or two about wine.

As a big believer (and investor) of .US) I really hopes Kellie spends some quality time finally growing the .US name extension.

Congrates good work keep it up
Dusty says
Godaddy isn’t showing the .us as a suggested extension. I’d focus on that ASAP. Unless you type in .us directly you wouldn’t know it existed. ( I just double checked it and … One issue could be that I’m outside the U.S. This week)
Anyone in U.S. Use godaddy app see the .us as first page suggestion?
