Horan

IAC has tapped former About.com and AllBusiness.com CEO Peter Horan for the role of CEO of IAC Media & Advertising.

Horan will enter his new role next month, overseeing IAC properties such as Ask.com, Citysearch, and Evite, ClickZ reports. Horan will report directly to President and COO Doug Lebda and will be responsible for the growth of the Media & Advertising sector within IAC, according to IAC.

Reporting to Horan will be the heads of the Media & Advertising businesses within IAC, including Jim Lanzone of Ask.com, Briggs Ferguson of Citysearch, Richard Stalzer of IAC Advertising Solutions and Scott Garell of IAC Consumer Applications and Portals.

The addition of Horan fills the void created when Steve Berkowitz left for Microsoft, but IAC's portfolio has expanded since then. Horan was also president and CEO of DevX.com, an internet media company later acquired by JupiterMedia.
