Singapore – Web services provider Yahoo has named Valeri Liborski as chief technology officer (CTO), tasking him to lead the global engineering team and advance the company’s investments in artificial intelligence.
Having more than two decades of experience running central technology functions in companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and HelloFresh, Liborski’s appointment allows him to contribute to Yahoo’s growth.
In his previous role as CTO at HelloFresh, Liborski supervised the technology operations and led engineering, data science, and product development. Libroski also held senior roles in his 10 years at Amazon.
“It’s an understatement to say that technology is the lifeblood of our company, and Val’s track record of building great teams to create and manage powerful products and platforms, at the kind of scale in which we operate, made him stand out as the right person to lead Yahoo’s engineering organization into the future,” Jim Lanzone, chief executive officer of Yahoo, said.
“We thank Aengus for his incredible contributions to Yahoo and we wish him the best in this next chapter,” Lanzone added.
“Yahoo was one of my first gateways to the internet and continues to be a go-to source in my daily life. I’m excited to contribute to such an iconic brand and work with the team to develop technology that touches the lives of hundreds of millions of people,” Liborski said.
Aengus McClean, who previously held the role of CTO since 2021, is set to retire at the end of the year.
