A little over a month ago, Rand Fishkin announced that he would step down as CEO of Moz (formerly SEOmoz). He would remain with the company, and focus on product and marketing, while handing over the reins to President and COO Sarah Bird.
Read our recent interview with Fishkin about the transition here.
Fishkin told us the transition would come in mid-January, which has now arrived. Bird is now officially CEO.

I've been a CEO for 12 hours. So far, so good.

@dharmesh Thanks! So far being a CEO is a lot like being a President & COO. Some good meetings, and ending the day with champagne & Hugs.
