OpenTable adds former Hotwire president to board
Skift Take
Hohman is CEO of Glassdoor, which shows OpenTable ranking at a mere 3 stars out of 5 as a good place to work. Maybe Hohman can do something about that as a board member and behind closed doors.
OpenTable Inc. added Robert Hohman, CEO of Glassdoor Inc., to its board of directors.
The San Francisco restaurant reservation website company's board will grow from seven to eight people with the arrival of Hohman, who helped start Glassdoor and who has been its CEO since April 2007.
Before that, Hohman was president of Hotwire Inc., part of Expedia Inc.
