Black Knight Inc. said Feb. 15 that Chairman and CEO Anthony Jabbour will assume the role of executive chairman of the board, with President Joe Nackashi succeeding him as chief executive.
Chief Financial Officer Kirk Larsen will take on the additional role of president of the Jacksonville-based mortgage technology company.
Jabbour joined Black Knight as CEO in 2018. He took on the additional role of CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Holdings Inc. in 2019 after an investor group including Black Knight acquired the business data firm.
Dun & Bradstreet last year moved its headquarters to Jacksonville.
In his new role at Black Knight, Jabbour will focus on the company’s strategic direction and capital allocation.
Nackashi has been president of Black Knight since 2017 and is a 35-year veteran of the company and its predecessors.
Larsen joined Black Knight as CFO in 2014.
“As we embark on this executive transition, Black Knight has never been in a stronger position from an innovation, integration, client satisfaction, operational or financial performance perspective,” Jabbour said in a news release.
Black Knight also announced Feb. 15 that 2021 revenue rose 19% to $1.475 billion, and adjusted earnings rose 15% to $371.5 million, or $2.38 a share.
