today announced that Jeremy
Wacksman has

The executive promotions are part of an organizational alignment
that will centralize Zillow's product, partner, engineering and
operations teams across the company with a greater focus on the
end-to-end customer experience, including solutions for buyers,
sellers and renters.
In his new COO role, Wacksman will be responsible for creating
more connectivity among Zillow's lines of business in order to
seamlessly serve Zillow customers on their moving journey. He will
continue to report to Chief Executive Officer and co-founder
Rich Barton.
"Jeremy has been an extraordinary leader and strategist over his
11-year tenure at Zillow, consistently achieving results and
demonstrating Zillow's core values," Barton said. "I have full
confidence that Jeremy and Zillow's senior leadership are now
organized to deliver on an integrated customer transaction
experience. I'm thrilled to continue leading this talented
management team as we help customers unlock life's next
chapter."
Since joining Zillow in 2009, Wacksman has held multiple roles,
including most recently as president of Zillow and as chief
marketing officer from 2015-2018. Before joining Zillow,
Jeremy spent time at Microsoft and at Trilogy, a software company.
He has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from
Purdue University and a Master of
Business Administration from the Kellogg Graduate School of
Management at Northwestern
University.
In her new role as president of Zillow, Daimler will report to
Wacksman and lead an integrated product team for buyers and
sellers, which will help institutionalize the company's customer
focus as Zillow grows and scales. Daimler will continue to oversee
the Premier Agent business, championing and focusing on Zillow's
partner agents as a key element of the company's customer-focused
strategy. Additionally, Daimler will continue to manage StreetEasy
and the corporate relations function.
As the leader of Zillow Premier Agent since 2018, Daimler has
led strong revenue growth and helped drive record profitability.
Daimler previously led StreetEasy as general manager. She joined
Zillow in 2012 after the company's acquisition of Buyfolio, a
co-shopping platform she co-founded. Daimler has a Bachelor of Arts
in English from Johns Hopkins

"Susan is an important and deeply influential voice in the real
estate industry and a highly respected leader within the company,
for good reason," Barton said. "She has a track record of driving
