“Today is exactly five years since our IPO and running Similar Web as a public CEO. This is also my 19th year of service since start working on Similar Web in June 2007. My promise to myself and to my wife was always that when I reach 20 years of service, I will realign my priorities and spend more time with my family. This moment is about to be reached as I enter my 20th year leading Similar Web next month. Similar web was been my life work. I founded this company nearly 20 years ago. And as I approach that milestone, I believe this is the right moment to begin identifying the leader who will take the company forward. The board and I are fully aligned on the timing and the process and we have intentioned a search with the leading executive search. I will continue to serve as the CEO through the conclusion of the search and the transition period with my successor with the leadership transition expected to be completed by mid 2027.”
