Patrick Mork of GetJar is now Marketing Director for Mobile Apps at Google

Congratulations to Patrick Mork who has been leading the marketing team at mobile apps giant GetJar.

Patrick is off to pastures new — Google pastures, to be precise. He’s going to be taking a bit of time out then he joins the Googleplex as Marketing Director for Mobile Applications.

I’ve me the chap often at an array of conferences. He’s eloquent, informed and high passionate about mobile applications. So I think that’s an excellent hire for Google. I’m sure Patrick will relish the opportunity.

Every success Patrick!
