New CFO ushered in at Ask Jeeves
Ask Jeeves Inc. hired Dominic Butera as its new chief financial officer, replacing Steve Sordello.
Butera was treasurer of contact lens maker Ocular Sciences Inc. He also worked at Inoventry, a joint venture between Wells Fargo Bank and Capital One.
Sordello had been CFO since 2001, when he was promoted after replacing Thomas Low, who left Ask Jeeves late in 2000.
The Oakland company also said on Tuesday that it promoted Dan Caul, its associate general counsel, to general counsel, replacing Brett Robertson. Before his work at Ask Jeeves, Caul, a Harvard Law School graduate, was corporate counsel for Barclays Global Investors and worked at Critical Path and Slam Dunk Networks.
Ask Jeeves was bought by IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IACI) in July.
