Googler Moves to AdMob - Kevin Scott, VP Engineering

Duncan at Techcrunch has the lead on a Googler moving to AdMob.  Kevin Scott was a former engineering manager at Google and holds the position of Vice President of Engineering at AdMob.

From the TC story: Omar Hamoui, Founder and CEO of AdMob told TechCrunch that they are thrilled to have someone with Scott’s experience join their startup. “Kevin brings unparalleled experience building ad servers that maximize targeting and quality. Adding Kevin validates and empowers AdMob’s approach and leadership on the challenges of targeting and optimization for the mobile environment.”

As we see more Google/Yahoo/Microsoft employees heading for startups, it wouldn't surprise me to see trade secret claims popping up over time. This was a major issue in my past roles and if trade secret clauses are not in the employment contracts at the big co's, they soon will be. In any event, congrats to Kevin.
