The Daily Beast Signs Up Google Vet as VP of Biz Dev

Tina Brown’s The Daily Beast is getting serious about building revenue. The Internet start-up hired Brian Dick as its vice president of business development. Previously, he worked at Google and as director of business development at Lime Wire LLC.
