(www.GlamMedia.com), vertical networking pioneer and number one in global reach for women online, today announced that Todd Lombardo has joined the company as Vice President of B2B Marketing. A digital marketing and Internet veteran, Lombardo joins Glam Media from Yahoo!, where he served as a Director of Marketing for the Yahoo!
