Match.com has announced that CEO Jim Safka has stepped down. Current Match Chief Operating Officer, Thomas Enraght-Moony will assume the title of Chief Executive Officer.

Safka was with Match for a little over 2.5 years. Enraght-Moony joined Match in November 2004 as senior vice president and general manager of North America before becoming COO in May 2006.

Safka has been named Chief Executive Officer of a new entity tasked with identifying new business opportunities for IAC, Match’s parent company, ranging from start-up ventures to existing entities in various stages of development. The new company will actively seed and incubate new concepts and leverage the strength of the overall IAC network to get them launched.

Good luck to Jim in his new position scouting out new lines of business for IAC. I’m looking forward to speaking with Thomas Enraght-Moony as soon as he’s settled in.
