New CTO and CPO at Move, Inc.

Move, Inc. has announced two key appointments: David Story is the company’s new chief technology officer and Scott Boecker has been made chief product officer.

Based at Move’s office in Campbell, California, Story and Boecker will report directly to Move, Inc., Chief Executive Officer Steve Berkowitz. Story will lead all elements of the Company’s tactical and strategic technology development, and Boecker will lead the company-wide development of the organization’s product strategy, product lifecycle planning and product design for all business functions.

Move’s CEO, Steve Berkowitz, said of the appointments:

“I’m pleased to welcome both Dave and Scott to Move as the final two members of our executive leadership team. Combined with our recent appointment of Rob Krolik as chief financial officer and Errol Samuelson’s promotion to chief revenue officer, Move now has the right executive leadership team in place to align our key business functions so we can successfully deliver against our objectives as we head into the next phase of growth as the category leader in online real estate.”

Story, who brings more than 20 years of IT expertise to Move, most recently served as vice president of product development and product management at Adobe Systems, and as chief technology officer of Intuit’s Small Business and Personal Finance business unit. He has both a Bachelor of Science and Masters of Science degrees in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Dave brings a deep and rich technical background that includes a proven track record of successfully building and managing large, world-class software development organizations,” Berkowitz said. “His expertise and leadership experience will allow him to more quickly put into place the tools and processes that’ll enable our technology organization to grow and build upon their successes in delivering against our objectives, while maintaining innovation and drive. Creating and delivering new innovations from our technology stack is mission critical, and I’m confident Dave will successfully execute on that strategy as a key leader in the company.”

Scott Boecker brings 10 years of product development leadership experience to Move, most recently as vice president, European product development at Ticketmaster. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

“Scott brings a valuable blend of product, strategy and consumer experience to the Company and to our executive team,” said Berkowitz. “His background with large-scale internet operations, combined with his business-to-business focus on industry partners, is a perfect complement to Move’s unique position in the real estate value chain that serves both consumers and real estate professionals. One of our key objectives will be to create an integrated, company-wide product roadmap that leverages our strengths across all business functions. Scott’s background and expertise will be key factors resulting in our successful achievement of this important objective.”
