Last week on Meet the Reputation.com Team, we introduced you to Charlie Russ, one of Reputation.com’s hard-working and hilarious software engineers. Today, we’re saying hello to Chris Macomber, who proudly puts his years of experience to use in the field of product management. Learn more about Chris below.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Chris Macomber and I’m a Senior Product Manager here at Reputation.com. My role at RD is to ensure we are building the best possible product features and experience for our customers.  Currently, I am working on MyReputation, MyEdge, and our first free product, Your Web Score.

What did you do prior to joining Reputation.com?

Previously, I was a Product Manager at Intuit where I worked on QuickBooks Online, their flagship online financial management service, and Intuit Community, a community of small business owners helping each other grow their business.  Before that I was getting my MBA at MIT Sloan.  Before that I was an Engineering Manager at Cisco responsible for their e-learning platform, and a Manager at Sapient, an internet consulting firm.  I got my Computer Science degree at Stanford and grew up in Las Vegas.

What attracted you to Reputation.com?

I joined RD because more and more people are concerned about how they or their loved ones look online.  I believe RD has the knowledge and skills to best help out our customers, so they don’t have to worry anymore.

Why do you think it’s important for people to manage their reputations online?

There are two primary trends that are colliding.  First, the Internet is quickly becoming the primary source to find information about a person.  It could be a company interviewing you, a new girlfriend checking you out, or potential customers evaluating your trustworthiness.  Second, it is increasingly commonplace to share more and more about yourself online, even if you don’t know you’re doing it.  In this case, unfortunately, ignorance is not bliss.  You need to know how people see you online and take control of your online presence.

When you’re not helping individuals control and protect their good names online, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I play basketball as often as possible, ski, and teach my toddler important things like sarcasm, not hitting the cat, and of course proper online reputation management.

What’s your all-time favorite website?

My favorite social site may be non-intuitive, but I love using Google Reader to help point out market trends and new developments to my friends and colleagues. It’s a quick and easy way to show what you care about without having to write a lot of content yourself!
