However, we heard today that while Huh will always remain committed to making the world happy, he’ll no longer be doing it at Cheezburger. He officially announced, via blog post, that he’ll be stepping down as CEO and handing off duties to current President and COO Scott Moore. Just so you know this move isn’t coming out of nowhere. Huh actually recommended this change to the board a few months ago and they’ve been preparing for it as they grow towards profitability. Huh will, however, remain as a board member for Cheezburger. It’s interesting to note that Huh specifically cites the recent close of Circa as something that indicated, perhaps, it was to embark on a new and unscripted adventure. To that end he’s happy that he has the ability to neatly wrap up his work with Cheezburger as he looks forward to exploring life with his wife Emily. We’ll always treasure the laughs and memories we’ve made at Tech.Co with him, that’s for sure. He came by our Chicago Session event in 2014 and not only talked the crowd through what exactly a meme is, but also told us all why entrepreneurs are stubborn assholes. The entire Tech.Co team wants to say thank you, Mr. Huh, for always putting a smile on our faces. We wish Emily and you the absolute best of luck no matter where the universe takes you next!
