Social magazine Flipboard added eight new employees this week, including three former Hulu executives.
Eric Feng joins Flipboard as CTO, reporting to CEO Mike Cue. Feng was the founder of Erly, which let users create webpages for specific events. Before that, he was CTO at Hulu and a partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, which has been one of Flipboard’s largest investors.
Eugene Wei, who’d been VP of product at Erly and prior to that worked at Hulu and Amazon, and Eden Li, who’d been a software engineer at both Erly and Hulu, are heading to Flipboard along with Feng.
In addition to Feng, Wei and Li, a Flipboard spokeswoman also hired five other people this week. The company hasn’t yet confirmed those people’s names and titles, or Wei and Li’s titles, but I’ll update the post when I have that information.
