Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the company that connects people with
great local businesses, today announced the appointment of Chris
Terrill, former chief executive officer of ANGI Homeservices (now
Angi Inc.) and HomeAdvisor.com, to its Board of Directors,
effective immediately.
Terrill is a tenured internet executive who has a strong record
of building highly successful businesses, including ANGI
Homeservices, which grew to a multi-billion-dollar public company
by the time of his departure.
“Chris brings extensive experience in building online
marketplaces that connect consumers with local service
professionals,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp’s co-founder and chief
executive officer. “His perspective will bring tremendous value as
we continue to differentiate the services product experience for
users and businesses on Yelp.”
Terrill has served as executive co-chairman of Z-Work
Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company investing
in the work technology business, since February 2021. He previously
served as chief executive officer and a director of ANGI
Homeservices (now Angi Inc.), a digital marketplace for home
services, from September 2017 to November 2018. Terrill served as
chief executive officer of HomeAdvisor.com, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of IAC that merged with Angie’s List in September 2017
to form ANGI Homeservices, beginning in May 2011. Prior to joining
HomeAdvisor, Terrill held senior marketing roles at
Nutrisystem.com, Blockbuster.com and Match.com. He holds a B.S.
from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.B.A. from the
University of Houston.
Terrill joins Yelp’s Board of Directors following Brian
Sharples’ decision to step down at the end of his current term on
June 2, 2022, after serving more than three years on the Yelp Board
and Audit Committee.
“We are pleased to welcome Chris to the Yelp board. His
expertise, energy and enthusiasm for connecting people with great
local service businesses will serve us well as we continue to
execute our strategy and build long-term shareholder value,” said
Diane Irvine, chair of the Yelp Board of Directors. “On behalf of
the Board, I’d also like to extend my sincere appreciation to Brian
for the expertise, valuable perspectives and commitment he has
brought to the Yelp Board. We are thankful for his many
contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.”
