The
leadership
changes
at
Zillow
are
continuing.
On
Thursday
the
firm
announced
that
Zillow
Group
President
Susan
Daimler
is
stepping
down.
Daimler
joined
Zillow
through
its
acquisition
of
Buyfolio
in
2012.
Since
joining
Zillow
Group
she
has
served
as
senior
vice
president
and
general
manager
of
StreetEasy,
and
senior
vice
president
over
the
Premier
Agent
program.
She
has
served
as
Zillow’s
president
since
2018.
Daimler’s
husband,
Matt
Daimler,
who
served
as
Zillow’s
senior
vice
president
of
product,
is
also
stepping
down
from
his
role.
“We’re
grateful
for
both
Susan
and
Matt’s
many
contributions
and
leadership
over
the
last
12
years,”
Jeremy
Wacksman,
the
CEO
of
Zillow,
said
in
a
statement.
“They’ve
each
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
Zillow’s
growth
and
success
and
we
wish
them
all
the
best.”
In
addition
to
the
departure
of
the
Daimlers,
the
firm
also
announced
the
promotion
of
Jun
Choo
as
its
new
chief
operating
officer.
Choo
also
joined
through
an
acquisition,
coming
into
the
firm
in
2015
through
its
acquisition
of
Trulia.
Most
recently,
Choo
has
served
as
senior
vice
president
of
real
estate
software,
which
saw
him
lead
sales
for
Premier
Agent,
ShowingTime
and
dotloop.
“Jun
has
long
been
an
instrumental
leader
in
our
company,
consistently
creating
and
scaling
innovative
solutions
across
our
business,”
Wacksman
said.
“He
has
been
a
key
driver
of
our
numerous
technology
investments
to
digitize
the
industry.
Under
his
leadership,
we
will
expand
the
integrated
transaction
experience
to
more
customers
—
agents,
movers,
and
industry
professionals
—
and
offer
them
a
better
way
to
transact
in
real
estate.”
For
his
part,
Choo
said
he
is
excited
for
the
opportunity
to
deliver
a
more
tech-enabled
and
integrated
homebuying
experience
for
consumers.
“Our
industry
software
offerings
are
unmatched
and
we
will
continue
to
invest
in
new
solutions
that
help
modernize
the
real
estate
experience
through
Zillow’s
housing
super
app,”
Choo
said
in
a
statement.
Prior
to
these
moves,
Zillow’s
executive
team
has
recently
undergone
a
spate
of
changes.
The
changes
began
in
May
2023,
when
Jeremy
Hoffman
was
promoted
to
chief
financial
officer.
Additionally
in
August,
Zillow
co-founder
Rich
Barton
stepped
down
as
the
firm’s
CEO
and
chair
for
the
second
time,
which
led
to
Wacksman’s
promotion.
