Elevated to Chief Business Operator of Afilias — Keith Lubsen

Keith Lubsen and Ram Mohan are taking over most of the CEO’s responsibilities.

Domain name registry firm Afilias has promoted Keith Lubsen to a fresh position of Chief Business Officer. He will oversee finance, mergers and acquisitions, and legal.

If this is a bit confusing to you, you’re not alone. A few days back the firm disclosed that CEO Hal Lubsen would oversee these three areas of the firm now that Ram Mohan is the firm’s Chief Operating Officer.

Keith is Hal’s son and has been involved with the business for over a decade.

So it seems that the elder Lubsen is essentially moving into a scaled-back role and Ram Mohan and Keith Lubsen will take over the day-to-day operations that Hal Lubsen was in charge of.
