Jon Ingalls

Here’s a look at some key hires, appointments and people on the move in the Pacific Northwest technology industry

BlueKai has named Jon Ingalls as the company’s first chief marketing officer and Sam Wolff as the company’s first chief financial officer. The online advertising company moved its headquarters to Cupertino last year after CEO Omar Tawakol relocated to the Bay Area from Bellevue in order to be closer to the product teams. The appointments come during a period of significant revenue growth “stemming from the widespread adoption of audience targeting and analytics” by brand advertisers and advertising agencies, the company said.

Ingalls joined BlueKai after selling his startup company, Seattle-based TrackSimple, to the company in January 2011. The veteran of Amazon.com will remain in the company’s Bellevue office. Wolff, who will be based in Cupertino, previously served as vice president of finance at Yahoo.
