News out of GoDaddy is that Blake Irving to retire
(Reuters) – Website hoster GoDaddy Inc said Chief Executive Blake Irving would retire at the end of this year and named Chief Operating Officer Scott Wagner as his successor.
Irving would continue to serve on GoDaddy’s board through June 2018 and work closely with Wagner through the transition, the company said on Tuesday.
Irving, who joined GoDaddy in 2013, had overseen the company’s initial public offering in 2015 and led its acquisition of Host Europe Group for 1.69 billion euros ($1.82 billion), its biggest deal ever.
