As Goodmail’s vice president of marketing, Atlas oversaw all strategic marketing, sender recruitment and consumer education initiatives. He brings 20 years of diverse marketing, sales and business development experience with a wide range of emerging software products and services.

“CertifiedEmail is a strategic marketer’s dream product, with a clear consumer need on one hand and a compelling sender value proposition on the other,” said Atlas. “It is the only system of its kind that simultaneously improves results for commercial email senders while visually marking known legitimate messages for consumers. I look forward to seeing CertifiedEmail become established as a consumer experience, benefiting consumers, senders and mailbox providers alike.”
