NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IAC (NASDAQ:
IAC) today announced the appointment of Kendall Handler to Senior Vice President and
General Counsel, succeeding Gregg
Winiarski who will step down December

role. Ms. Handler, who currently serves as Vice President, Mergers
& Acquisitions Counsel at IAC, will take on the General Counsel
position effective January 1, 2021,
overseeing all legal, compliance and human resources functions for
the company.
Ms. Handler joined IAC in 2017 as lead M&A Counsel, and in

acquisition of Care.com and its $1
billion investment in MGM.
"Kendall has already made a real and positive impact on the
company during her time here, and we have big expectations ahead,"
said Joey Levin, CEO, IAC. "As is
IAC's tradition, we like to promote our leaders from within. We
will all miss Gregg deeply. He's been a positive and smart
influence at the heart of this company for many years, and I'm
grateful for his countless contributions, not the least of which is
his support of the next generation of IAC leaders, and the superb
bench he has built in the legal department. Kendall is a real
talent with a sharp legal mind and will be a fantastic addition to
the IAC executive team. We'll all benefit from her
perspective as we build IAC's future."
Ms. Handler has spent over three years overseeing the legal
aspects of IAC's mergers and acquisitions activity. Prior to this,
she served for six years as an associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen
& Katz where she advised clients on M&A, governance
and other corporate matters. Ms. Handler graduated cum laude from
Harvard Law School after receiving a
Bachelor of Arts degree with highest distinction from the
University of Virginia.
Said Ms. Handler, "I'm incredibly excited and honored to
help define what's next for IAC as we drive forward doing what we
do best: building great companies. I'm grateful to have had the
opportunity to work with and learn from Gregg and look forward to
partnering with the rest of the executive team to write the next
chapter of our winning story."
Mr. Winiarski will remain as an advisor to the company through
early 2021 to ensure a smooth transition.
