  • kgb seeking a Chief Web Architect. Position is in NYC or Cardiff-Wales, which I believe is in Australia. A former colleague is now the Chief People Officer at kgb - kgb USA (formerly INFONXX) is in the business of providing immediate, specific, accurate and convenient answers to questions 24 hours a day, every day. kgb USA is an independent provider of directory assistance, customer care and operator services.

Hopefully someone in our audience is a good fit (or may know someone), so I thought I'd put it out there.
