CareerBuilder appoints new president and COO; former ADP exec to take chief product officer role

October 26, 2017

CareerBuilder LLC appointed Irina Novoselsky to its senior leadership team as president and chief operating officer. The job board operator also named Humair Ghauri as chief product officer.

The announcements come after an investor group closed in early August on its acquisition of a majority of the outstanding equity interests in CareerBuilder.

Novoselsky will direct operational strategy and execution as the company invests in building out new products and processes. She will oversee finance, marketing, go-to-market strategy, customer care and information technology and data security.

Novoselsky previously was president of Novitex Enterprise Solutions. Before Novitex, Novoselsky was an investment strategist for Dubin & Co and an investment professional at Apollo Global Management and at Morgan Stanley in the M&A group.

“Irina is a talented executive who specializes in creating high-performing, customer-centric teams that move quickly to grow market share and increase enterprise value,” CEO Matt Ferguson said. “CareerBuilder is making significant, strategic investments across our business, and Irina's passion and expertise will help us fully capitalize on those investments to bring innovative solutions to employers and consumers. She will play a pivotal role in taking our company to the next level.”

Chief Product Officer Humair Ghauri is taking the new, expanded position at CareerBuilder, overseeing product and technology teams. He most recently was the chief product officer for ADP. Over the course of two decades, he held senior leadership roles for Skillsoft, SumTotal Systems, Oracle and PeopleSoft, overseeing global product and technology strategies.

“Humair is a prominent thought leader who has headed up product development for some of the biggest brands in the human capital industry,” Ferguson said. “He offers a wealth of knowledge in building large software systems that delight customers and disrupt the status quo. His approach to innovation has had a major impact on the market, and will help CareerBuilder to further differentiate our products and elevate our leadership position.”
