PAPAYA INTERNET - Key Persons
Bobby Kircher is the founder and CEO of Papaya Search. You could say this project is the fruit of his labor… It's certainly the fruit of his passion for search engine marketing.
Because of his ongoing obsession with this industry, Bobby is the opposite of a hands-off leader. He remains an active SEO specialist, immersed in algorithm updates, implementing the latest tools and techniques.
Before Papaya Search sprouted, Bobby spent 5 years as a web developer with telecom company MCI Worldcom. This was a turbulent time for the company: in fact, he was there to witness the most significant corporate bankruptcy in US history of the time.
This period of uncertainty prompted Bobby to explore new avenues, and he began building websites as a side-hustle. He soon found he had a knack for optimization, which was only becoming more crucial to business success.
Bobby is a keen runner, and you'll often find him pounding the pavement in his running shoes, exploring his hometown of Atlanta or any other city he happens to visit. As his team will testify, Bobby is also a music aficionado. He boasts an impressive record collection spanning all genres and decades, but especially focusing on his favorites: electronic and dance from the 80s and 90s. Gaming is another hobby of Bobby's, and he lists the Fallout series, Mass Effect, and Overwatch as his most played, most loved video games of all time. When he is not working, Bobby likes to put on his running shoes and explore the sights and sounds of the city of Atlanta. And in fact, every other city he visits. He loves to collect electronic and dance-music records from the 1980s and 1990s. He also enjoys gaming with the Fallout series, Mass Effect, and Overwatch being a few of his all-time favorites.
No, it's not a papaya! Thanks to his childhood experience of fruit farms, Bobby is an expert in mangoes. He's able to identify all different kinds. Avocados and guavas also have a special place in Bobby's fruit bowl.
