With Irina assuming the CEO role, we have a determined, passionate leader to take CareerBuilder's strategy and innovative technology solutions to the next level, and continue helping people and businesses succeed in the new world of work. All the pieces are in place, and the time is right for me to transition the CEO role and continue to serve as Executive Chairman."

"Irina is a talented tech executive with the perfect complement of skills to further establish CareerBuilder as the innovative partner of choice in the competitive HR tech space," said David Sambur, Senior Partner of majority shareholder Apollo Global Management and current Chairman of the CareerBuilder board.  "I also want to thank Matt for his 14 years of service and I look forward to his continued leadership as our new Executive Chairman."
