He plans to launch his own legal practice and will act as a close advisor to the Sedo Management.
In announcing Johnston's new venture, Sedo spokesman Daniel Le Ray said, "Since joining Sedo in 2004, Johnston has been instrumental in helping the Company keep a step ahead of the domain
industry’s ever-changing legal and business landscape. With more than a decade of experience leading Internet-related companies and an academic background focused on international intellectual property, Johnston has helped Sedo identify significant opportunities and risks while championing the growth of the domain industry."
That latter point has been especially important and few people know how much effort Jeremiah put into spreading the word about the value of a good domain name to businesses that want to improve their chances for success online. He has done countless interviews with mainstream business media outlets and in many cases Jeremiah was the person who got those outlets to write about domains in the first place.
