Rightmove taps ex-Shazam boss Andrew Fisher as its new chairman

Nov 22 (Reuters) - British property website operator
Rightmove Plc said on Friday it has named Andrew Fisher,
former boss of now Apple-owned app Shazam, as its chairman to
succeed Scott Forbes, who has held the role for more than 14
years.

Forbes, who was with company before it made its market debut
and watched it become a blue-chip name, said: "I hand over the
chair to Andrew. His experience developing innovative digital
businesses will be a great asset to Rightmove."

Fisher was executive chairman of the Shazam, UK-based app
that lets users identify songs by pointing a smart phone at the
audio source, when Apple Inc reached a deal to buy it
in 2017.

Fisher, who is also on the board of Rightmove rival
Moneysupermarket.com Group, will join Rightmove in
January as Forbes is set to retire from the board at the end of
2019.
