LendingTree Opens New Marketing Headquarters in San Francisco’s Bay Area
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (February 21, 2012) – LendingTree, the nation’s leading online lending exchange, announced today that it has officially opened its marketing headquarters in Burlingame, California.
“With the Bay Area being the epicenter of technology and innovation, LendingTree saw an opportunity to expand our marketing team and tap into the Silicon Valley talent pool,” said Doug Lebda, LendingTree CEO. “Since our CMO Gabe Dalporto joined us last April, we’ve assembled an exceptional 20 person team that will enable us to execute on our growth and diversification strategy.”
“When I joined LendingTree, we set out to build the best marketing team on the planet, bar none,” said Dalporto. “We chose the Bay Area due to the rich and deep talent pool that’s on the absolute cutting edge of performance-based marketing. I don’t think we would have grown as quickly if we were anyplace else. I’m thrilled that we now have a permanent address where our team of marketers and designers can collaborate and communicate more efficiently in an area that gives employees quick access to San Francisco, the Valley and the East Bay.”
LendingTree, LLC and its parent company, Tree.com, Inc., (NASDAQ: TREE), still maintains its primary office and headquarters in Charlotte, NC.
