IAC’s About Hires COO, Two More Execs
About.com, IAC’s answers website, has hired three executives: Scott Kim, who was previously chief strategy officer at IAC’s Ask.com, will be chief operating officer; Alex Ellerson, previously Howcast Media’s COO, will become SVP for content; and Matthew Knell, previously AOL’s social media guy, will take a similar role. Earlier this year IAC hired Neil Vogel to run About, which it bought from the New York Times last summer.
