AOL Loses Another Veteran
- TechCrunch, Thursday, March 4, 2010 1:55 PM
Mike Rich, SVP of AOL Entertainment, is out, according to TechCrunch. Rich spent nine years at the company. Since AOL CEO Tim Armstrong arrived last year -- and proceeded to bring in his own executive team - AOL's old guard has dwindled. Gone is Bill Wilson -- who spent nine years as president of AOL Media -- along with David Liu, Ted Cahall, and Grant Cerny, among others. In turn, former Google exec David Eun is now president of AOL Media and Studios. Under him, David Mason, the co-founder of recently acquired StudioNow has just been promoted to senior VP of the AOL Content Platform. Recently hired former Google engineer Jeff Reynar, meanwhile, will lead the engineering efforts for the Content Platform, which includes StudioNow and Seed.
