News Corp Announces New Leadership At Move, Inc.
Ryan O'Hara Named CEO
New York, NY (December 17, 2014) - News Corp announced today that Ryan O'Hara will become Chief Executive Officer of Move, Inc. ( Move ), effective January 5, 2015.
Mr. O'Hara will replace CEO Steven Berkowitz, who has led the company since January 2009. News Corp acquired Move, a leading provider of online real estate services, including realtor.com , last month.
We are excited to have secured Ryan O'Hara to take the helm at Move, given his record of transforming businesses in the digital age and his clear determination to accelerate the growth of the company. We are also extremely grateful to Steve Berkowitz for his years of astute and principled leadership, during which period he secured greater operating flexibility for the business and put the company on a solid growth trajectory, said Robert Thomson, Chief Executive of News Corp.
Ryan's experience in the digital media and entertainment industry and his deft management skills will be invaluable assets as we pursue the rapid expansion of Move in this era of exponential change. We believe he has the ability to leverage the relationship with our existing US media properties to the benefit of all and to make the most of the significant expertise at REA, our majority-owned, notably successful and still growing digital property site in Australia.
Ryan will begin at Move in the first week of January, when we will also be rolling out a broad-based marketing campaign across The Wall Street Journal Digital Network to drive quality traffic to realtor.com , said Mr. Thomson. He also looks forward to working closely with the National Association of Realtors , a key and crucial partner of Move, knowing that Realtors are at the heart of American real estate transactions.
Mr. O'Hara most recently served as a President at the Madison Square Garden Company, leading the MSG Media, technology and marketing partnership divisions. He previously was President and CEO of The Topps Company, a leading entertainment trading card and consumer products business. During his time at Topps, Mr. O'Hara grew market share, formed key partnerships with major sports leagues and player associations, and expanded the business digitally and globally.
Before Topps, Mr. O'Hara was with several News Corporation businesses, including Gemstar TV Guide International/TV Guide Company from 2002 to 2010, the last five years as President of the TV Guide network and several digital businesses. He led the TV Guide network's transformation from a utility guide to a full-screen entertainment destination and significantly increased its distribution. Between 1999 and 2002, he worked at Fox Cable Networks in Los Angeles and BSkyB in London.
Mr. O'Hara holds a B.A. in Economics from Stanford University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
I'm grateful for this exciting opportunity to join the team at Move and help make realtor.com the best in the business, said Mr. O'Hara. The digital real estate marketplace is poised for rapid expansion as more people go online to buy, sell and rent property in America, and as more businesses advertise on digital real estate platforms to reach those homeowners. I believe Realtor.com is ready to capitalize on this technological revolution.
Love of real estate runs in my family, with my grandfather and uncle having long, successful careers as real estate brokers, and a cousin is currently a Realtor and member of the National Association of Realtors . And while in college, I gained a California real estate salesperson license, said Mr. O'Hara. I'm thrilled to have a chance to run this exciting digital real estate business, particularly given its deep connection to Realtors around the country.
I believe Move is well-positioned for the future, with many good people whom I've been honored to work with these past six years. I'm grateful for all we accomplished together and I leave secure in the knowledge that great things are in store for them and Move, said Mr. Berkowitz.
Through realtor.com and its mobile applications, Move displays more than 98% of all for-sale properties listed in the US. With the freshest, most accurate listing of homes in the market, the Move network of websites reaches more than 30 million people per month.
REA Group Limited, in which News Corp owns a 61.6% interest, has a 20% stake in Move. REA is the operator of the leading Australian residential property website, realestate.com.au.
