It must be some kind of tribal, Mortal-Kombat-esque kind of ritual:
Two executives clash with different personalities or converging strategies, and then the one who prevails in the battle emails out the remaining “team” to announce that the one who lost out is leaving for personal reasons.
Our colleague and long-time AOLer, Marty Moe, has decided to step down from his role leading our News & Information area. Marty, a nine-year veteran of the company, was one of the original champions of opening up AOL’s content and products to all users on the web at large as the company transitioned to an ad-supported media business.
More recently, Marty was a driving force behind helping AOL move away from aggregating third party content and moving toward the creation of high quality original content.
In talking with Marty, I know that he is eager to take on new challenges and also find more time to spend with his family. Marty is going to be transitioning with us through early October. In the meantime we will be looking for someone to fill his role.
Please join me in thanking Marty for his contributions to AOL and in wishing him the best of luck going forward.
