[{"type":"text","content":" WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nCoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP), the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics and online marketplaces, is pleased to announce the promotion of Jaye Campbell to General Counsel and Secretary and Jeannette C. Koonce to Chief Compliance Officer.\n\n\nMs. Campbell is responsible for leading CoStar Group’s legal team and overseeing legal affairs.

Prior to joining CoStar Group, Ms. Campbell practiced at the law firm Drinker, Biddle & Reath, where she specialized in intellectual property and technology law.
