Congrats to Om and Team!

GigaOm founder Om Malik has announced that he has hired a CEO tonight. Actually promoted is more like it. Paul Walborsky joined GigaOm as COO a year ago and has been promoted to CEO.

Om notes that since Paul joined they have doubled revenues and monthly visitors, held two conferences and acquired jkOnTheRun.

I am SO looking forward to meeting Om next week during my trip to San Francisco. I’ve said for a long time that I am certain I can learn so much from him about this business and hope that he can download some of that information to me. I am also going to see if he will go for a GigaOM show with the two of us – I think I can get him to bring out some of his NY’er side!

Big congrats to Om, Paul and the entire GigaOm family – you are all kicking major butt!
