San Mateo, CA-based NetGravity, a provider of online
marketing and advertising management solutions, named Eric W. Spivey, 38, as
president and chief executive officer.

John Danner, 32, co-founder and former chief executive officer, will continue
in as chairman, “enabling him to focus on expanding the company vision and
guiding NetGravity’s industry initiatives,” the company said.

Most recently Spivey served as chairman and chief executive officer of Netcom
On-Line Communications Services, Inc., where he was responsible for $165
million in revenue and a customer base of more than 500,000. He was promoted
to that position from chief operating officer after Netcom was acquired by
ICG Communications Inc. in January 1998. Netcom has since been sold to ISP
MindSpring Enterprises Inc.

“Eric’s experience managing and leading organizations in both the Internet
services and data industries is a perfect fit with NetGravity’s vision for
interactive marketing,” said Danner.

Prior to being chairman and CEO at Netcom, Spivey served as president of
Netcom International. Prior to joining Netcom in January 1996, Spivey held
senior positions with Dun & Bradstreet and AC Nielsen for more than a decade
in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
