Interactive agency iXL has named Robert Michelson president of its newly established office here.
Michelson previously was president of FastWEB.com here, a Web site targeting college students.
"Bob's experience making FastWEB.com one of the most popular and widely visited Internet sites in the world is just the ingredient we need to make iXL-Chicago the Midwest's major strategic Internet services company," Bill Nussey, president and chief operations officer of Atlanta-based iXL, said in a statement.
The iXL-Chicago office was created last October through the acquisition and combination of interactive shops Two Way Communications in Chicago and Oak Brook, Ill.-based Ionix Development Corp.
