Robert Millard, chief financial officer at Angie’s List Inc. for less than two years, will step down at the quarter’s end, the Indianapolis-based company announced Thursday.

Millard is at least the third CFO to depart the online-consumer-review company since July 2008. No reason was given for his exit.

“Bob has made significant contributions to Angie’s List through our successful initial public offering and transition to becoming a public company, and in building a strong finance team,” CEO Bill Oesterle said in a prepared statement. “As the rapid evolution and growth of our business continues, we have determined the time is right to commence a search for Bob’s successor. We appreciate Bob’s efforts throughout this transition and wish him the best of luck in future endeavors.”

Millard will remain as an employee through June 28, the company said. Angie’s List Controller Charles Hundt will become interim CFO while a permanent replacement is sought.

Millard joined Angie’s List in May 2011 when it was still privately held.

Thomas Harvey held the CFO's post from 2008 to 2010, and Keith Midkiff was CFO from 2004 to 2008.

Before Angie's List, Millard had been CFO at FinishMaster Inc., an Indianapolis-based automotive paints distributor. FinishMaster was owned by LDI Ltd., an Indianapolis holding company, before its sale to Uni-Select Inc. in January 2011.

Prior to that, Millard was CFO at Personnel Management Inc., a public company in Greenwood that was sold to a private equity firm.

"My time with Angie's List has been very rewarding and I am proud of what we have accomplished,” Millard said in a prepared statement. “I have great confidence in the team I have put in place and look forward to assisting Bill and the board in this transition."

Angie's List stock was down 28 cents, or 1.3 percent, in late-morning trading, to $19.57 a share.

  1. In my opinion the estridge companies are crooks. They filed bankruptcy on their 'track housing' side of the business two weeks before they closed on one of my clients' homes. When my client first interviewed Estridge as a builder 6 months before, they specifically ASKED about the solvency of their business, knowing that some builders were struggling. Estridge truly misrepresented their financial situation at that time. I suppose I am more unhappy with the whole system than I am with the builder because what the heck==you can file bankruptcy on 'track homes' but still keep building and make money off of 'custom built' homes??? How ridiculous! They are all homes. How can a company be allowed to bilk thousands of dollars from their subcontractors but still be allowed to build houses?? they should have been made to pay back all their unpaid contractors before being allowed to profit from building any more houses! This alone makes them and the system crooks in my eyes. I would never build an estridge home and I would not recommend for my clients either. If they were truly 'bankrupt' how could they afford to keep building homes anyway??? The whole system needs fixed.

  2. I live a couple blocks east of the Angie's campus and my house is assessed for ~$160,000. If I could get that amount, let alone $384,000 (a 140% bonus), I'd sell in a minute. Either Angie's stockholders just got fleeced, or Angie's is getting about a 58% discount on their property taxes, if these properties are actually worth what they paid Mr. Oesterle for them. Which do you think is the case?

  3. Perhaps the IMA board is really to blame! They agreed to hire Charles. They can't seemingly find donors among themselves, or bring in new blood that will support the museums operating budget with an expanded museum and money to provide curators with something to do (ie buy art). The headlines of disarray at the museum and mass firings are hurting the reputation of the museum for some time to come. If people on the board had misgivings, perhaps they shpuld have more forcefully opposed efforts that they have seemingly been unable to fund, like expansion and the costs it has created!

  4. See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.

  5. I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
