A week ago, to the day, I arrived back home in Bucharest.

It was a trip I won’t be forgetting. You see, a loving husband, a wonderful father, a top-notch grandfather and my best friend was taken from this family, unexpectedly.

I won’t be going into details here, but needless to say, its been a rough few months.

During my stay in the UK, I had sold CeeVee and the question I keep hearing is “what next Lee”

To be honest, I don’t know. I know we @ wilks have a couple of clients projects we are putting the final touches to, but after this I am not 100% sure.

I do see a future in eCommerce, I see a future in Content, and I can how combing the two will work. Thats one idea. I have others.

I just wanted to update you guys on where I am at, and to hopefully answer your “what next?” question.

Until the next time.

Rest In Peace Dad, I will miss you and love you always.

Below is a copy of the press release we sent out today regarding the sale of CeeVee.com to Lateral.

Bucharest, 14th of January 2010 Wilkins Lee Creative announces today that it has successfully completed the sell of CeeVee.com to Lateral Romania. Ceevee.com is a platform focused on developing an online tool that simplifies the building and maintaining of CVs/Resumes online.

CeeVee.com was launched on the local market just 6 months ago and experienced a huge growth ever since. Most recently, the CeeVee.com team has been working to keep up with the international demands.

Lee Wilkins, General Director Wilkins Lee Creative: “After many discussions with Lateral representatives focused on a future collaboration, we were impressed with the speed of their developments and their understanding of our business. Thus, what originally started as a partnership ended up as a buyout. Lateral Romania shares the same passion and drive that we have for Ceevee.com, but has a lot more resources on board and expertise in the job market. Wilkins Lee Creative will stay on board until the migration completes and will continue to offer advice going forward.”

Filip Chereches-Tosa, Partner at Lateral Romania: “We are delighted to bring Ceevee.com to our portfolio. The acquisition of CeeVee brings to the table the missing piece from our job related products. Ever since we started www.jobberbase.com and job-job.co.uk we felt we needed a compelling way to allow people to create and share CVs and offer this information to companies in a structured and machine-readable way. By means of this acquisition, CeeVee users have now access to targeted job offers and our partners and the open source community to many other services in a machine-readable format.”

About CeeVee:
CeeVee was founded in June 2008 in Bucharest and was focused on building an online tool that simplified the building and maintaining a CV/Resume online. In September 2008, CeeVee opened its door in private beta, its initial 600 users providing valued feedback and helping the site improvement. In July 2009, CeeVee opened its door in Public Beta – a simple platform that anyone can use, which connects companies to job-seekers and vice-versa.
