We at Depiction are very pleased to announce today that Hurricane Coast is joining the company as Vice President of Sales & Marketing. All sorts of excellent details are in the official announcement. Hurricane was previously the program manager of the Open Initiative at MapQuest, has served as Community Ambassador at Cloudmade, and is currently a member of the OpenStreetMap foundation and the State of the Map 2011 organizing committee. She has been a contributor to OpenStreetMap since 2008.

We first met Hurricane last fall, when she joined us for an OpenStreetMap and Depiction webinar, and sat down for a Depiction Perspectives interview. We’re very glad that she’s going to be putting her considerable talents behind Depiction.
