Krim, head of CNBC Digital, leaving the company

CNBC president Mark Hoffman sent out the following announcement on Thursday:

Despite best efforts on both sides, over several months, I’m disappointed to let you know that Kevin Krim has decided to leave CNBC.

During the past three years, Kevin played an important role leading the CNBC Digital team and made significant contributions to help us evolve this dynamic, fast-growing and profitable part of the CNBC brand.

Under Kevin’s leadership, the Digital team accomplished a great deal across our entire suite of products and services and forged some critically important strategic relationships and investments. The results of all these initiatives have been impressive with CNBC Digital quickly rising in both competitive rankings and prestige.

Perhaps Kevin’s greatest contribution is the team he helped build, creating an organization that is in terrific shape to continue its growth trajectory.

Kevin has many and varied passions and is considering a number of exciting options. He will share news about his next professional move soon.

I’m pleased Kevin will be with us through Wednesday, July 1st. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be working together on transition details.

Please join me in thanking Kevin for all of his great work here at CNBC.
