Earlier in his career, Cohen served as vice president and assistant controller at Countrywide Bank and supervising senior auditor at Ernst & Young.
“Chad has made meaningful contributions to Zillow during his nine years here" said CEO Spencer Rascoff.
"In 2006, I hired Chad as our first corporate controller when I was Zillow's first CFO,” Rascoff added. “During his tenure, Chad has built an excellent team who have implemented tight financial controls and efficient processes that have allowed us to scale through Zillow's IPO, our rapid growth and our acquisition of Trulia and establishment of Zillow Group.”
In a release, Zillow said that is conducting a search of a new chief financial officer, adding that Cohen will remain as chief financial officer through second quarter earnings and the 10-Q filing.
