Yahoo Corporate Development Head Exits

by admin on June 28, 2008

Sunnyvale, CA (AB) — Kent Goldman, Director of Corporate Development at Yahoo, becomes just the latest to leave the ranks of the Internet company, according to the TechCrunch Web site.

Michael Arrington, who operates TechCrunch, Friday wrote that Goldman recently joined the “Yahoo Alumns” group on social-networking site Facebook. Goldman is also a Facebook “fan” of First Capital, a venture capital firm with offices in California and Pennsylvania. The company focuses on “early-stage” startups that have yet to earn anything.

In recent days, a parade of Yahoo executives have left the company, including senior vice president Brad Garlinghouse, former executive vice president for networking Jeff Weiner, former senior vice president and general manager for search Vish Makhijani, former executive vice president for engineering Qi Lu, Flickr co-founders Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield and Delicious founder Joshua Schachter. Arrington put the number of departures at 115.
