The revamp of Cars.com’s top-level executive team keeps evolving.
The newest move came on Thursday when Cars.com appointed Mausam Bhatt as chief product officer, effective on Monday.
Bhatt will join the company after it has already hired a new chief financial officer, who is set to start next Friday, as well as a new chief marketing officer.
Cars.com highlighted Bhatt brings extensive experience building and scaling complex marketplaces, digital commerce businesses and, most recently, B2B2C SaaS companies. He will oversee product strategy and development across Cars.com’s portfolio, accelerating efforts to connect the company’s consumer marketplace, automotive data, artificial intelligence capabilities and dealer solutions to create more seamless experiences and measurable customer outcomes.
“Cars.com is evolving into a more intelligent, connected marketplace — one that builds consumer confidence and delivers greater value to our customers,” said Cars.com CEO Tobi Hartmann, who took over the company in January. “Mausam brings the product vision, deep marketplace expertise and execution mindset to help us accelerate that evolution and unlock the full potential of our platform. He understands how to build products that create meaningful value on both sides of a marketplace, and his leadership will be instrumental as we bring our next generation of experiences to market.”
Bhatt joins Cars.com from Rithum, a commerce technology company, where he also was chief product officer. Before that position, he was chief product and technology officer at Realtor.com, leading product, engineering, AI and data for one of the largest online property marketplaces.

Earlier in his career, Bhatt led product for Google Shopping’s growth and transactions platform, served as chief product officer at RetailMeNot, and was part of the senior leadership team at Flipkart, where he helped build the company’s mobile commerce business from the ground up, scaling it to over 75 million users and $4 billion in revenue.
Bhatt began his career as a software engineer at Hewlett Packard.
“Cars.com has built an impressive foundation of trusted content, technology, data and dealer solutions,” Bhatt said. “What excites me most is the opportunity to bring these capabilities together to create more intuitive, connected experiences that build trust and deliver meaningful value for consumers and dealers.
“The strategy is clear, the opportunity is significant, and I’m excited to work with this team to bring it to life.”
