CareerOne CEO Karen Lawson steps down after business transition

CareerOne chief executive Karen Lawson has stepped down after two years in the role with COO Ben Foote taking over at the job search firm.

Lawson said the “timing was right to move on” after overseeing the transition from a “traditional job board into a leading technology and digital business”.

“It’s been an amazing journey to transition a business into a leading technology and media business,” she said. “The improved financial performance of the business and its successful strategic direction has created a natural exit point for me in my role as CEO.”
