Google's Levick Named Top AOL Ad Exec

  • April 30, 2009
AOL, which is expected to be spun off from Time Warner, this morning announced that Jeff Levick will join the company as its top advertising executive. Levick, who was vice president-industry development and marketing at Google, follows former Google ad sales chief Tim Armstrong, who was recently named AOL Chairman-CEO. Levick, whose title will be president-global advertising and strategy at AOL, will be responsible for Platform-A, AOL's advertising business, as well as developing global revenue strategies. The movement of top executives from Google to AOL will likely fuel ongoing speculation that Google might ultimately make a play to acquire AOL. Google already is a significant minority investor in the Time Warner unit.
