Alon Chaver, iHomefinder CEO, joins Trulia as VP of Industry Services

The talent wars at Zillow and Trulia are heating up. Trulia scored a HUGE win with the addition of Alon Chaver to its team.

TRULIA EXPANDS MANAGEMENT TEAM, HIRES INDUSTRY VETERAN ALON CHAVER AS NEW VP OF INDUSTRY SERVICES

“As Vice President of Industry Services, Alon is responsible for the strategy and direction of Trulia’s Broker, MLS and Data teams. In this role he will lead Trulia’s efforts to build new industry services for Brokers and MLSs, expand data quality initiatives, and strengthen industry partnerships.”

Alon will be leaving iHomefinder but will remain a major shareholder and a member of the iHomefinder Board of Directors. Alon is super super smart, well connected and has experience of working with the MLS industry from building a well respected IDX company. I have to say this addition really has me re-thinking Trulia. As I’ve said, as recently as my last post, its all about the team and Trulia scored a big with Alon.
