In a stunner December 4, the Expedia board triggered the resignations of Okerstrom, who'd been in the post since late-August 2017, and CFO Alan Pickerill, who had been promoted at the same time. Skift contacted several sources with some knowledge of the search, and multiple others to handicap the succession race. If Diller follows his past practice and taps a new Expedia CEO who has Expedia/IAC Travel/Microsoft ties, then two names prominently mentioned that would fit that scenario include Zillow Group co-founder and former CEO Spencer Rascoff, and former Orbitz Worldwide CEO Barney Harford.
