I had lunch with Ask CEO Jim Lanzone last Thursday when he was here in the UK, and I’ve been itching to tell the news he gave me under embargo. Now it’s up, with Jim himself sharing the announcement in video. Kevin Federline’s Search With Kevin service is being acquired and merged with Ask, to create Ask Kevin. Federline’s also set to head up the new company, with Jim stepping down due to “charisma” factors. Best of luck Jim — welcome, Kevin! Video below:
