The appointment of a regular CEO has come four months after Housing.Com's board on July 1 sacked co-founder and then CEO Rahul Yadav. Rishabh Gupta was appointed as interim CEO in July.
"Kothari, who joined in the capacity of Chief Business Officer in August of this year, has been unanimously appointed by the Board of Directors today," the SoftBank-backed portal said in a statement.
"Housing.Com is one of those rare companies that has the potential to impact millions of people in their journey of buying, selling and renting homes. I am honoured that the Board has entrusted me with the responsibility of leading this dynamic company," said Kothari on his appointment.
In September, Keerthi Kiran was roped in as Vice President, New Real Estate Projects. Last month, Mani Rangarajan was appointed as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Nandini Mehta as General Counsel, while Nikhil Rungta was appointed as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) earlier this month.
Since August, Jason has played an instrumental role on a number of key initiatives, including establishing a strong senior management team for the company, the portal said.
Prior to joining Housing.Com, Jason was the co-founder & CEO of Valiant Entertainment. He holds a Bachelor of Science from University of Pennsylvania's The Wharton School.
