First, to Eric, "Congratulations on your new position(s)!!! :thumbsup

You were one of the very first people that I met in this industry at the WMA L.A. 2005 and have always conducted yourself and your business one way... as a true professional. It has always been a pleasure doing business with you.

You were very lucky to have someone like Joe as a mentor.

To Joe, "Thank You" for all your contributions to our industry and I wish you only the best in all your future endeavors.

Joe,
It was great working with you, even if you did beat me in fantasy football (and let me know it on a daily basis). I have known you for many years and finally got to work along-side of you at Playboy. I hope for you the best in your retirement from adult.

Eric,
All the congrats in the world.

STATEMENT FROM PLAYBOY

After a very successful run, Joe Lensman is leaving Playboy and the industry to pursue other opportunities and interests. His departure is effective today. Eric Matis has agreed to step in and run the RealityCash and Playboy Webmasters business in addition to GFY.

We do not expect to miss a single beat in serving our affiliates, our partners and our customers. As with anything in life, businesses evolve and go thru transitions. Lensman has been an integral part of the industry and he will be greatly missed. We would like to thank Joe for his vision, leadership and contribution over the past 12 years and wish him all the luck and success in his future endeavors.


Did you REALLY retire or are you coming back in a month with a youtube video telling everyone they changed your passwords??????
