December 18, 2014

Baltimore-based OrderUp has hired former AOL SVP of Corporate Development Michael Smith as its new VP of Corporate and Business Development.

The move will support OrderUp's growth. According to a news release, OrderUp's order and delivery volume has recently increased from 10,000 weekly orders to 20,000 weekly orders that its driver partners fulfill, which is a portion of its total weekly transaction volume.

Smith will oversee corporate and business development, franchise operations and is charged with finding growth opportunities as the company seeks to scale quickly in secondary and tertiary markets. His experience includes the negotiations of the acquisitions of TechCrunch and Huffington Post while at AOL.
