This marks the most significant hire to date for CEO Marissa Mayer, who last month named Ken Goldman CFO. For this one she went back to her old stomping ground at Google to snatch Henrique de Castro, who was VP of Google’s worldwide Partner Business Solutions group, where he was responsible for advertising platforms and services for Google’s publisher and commerce partners. Before that, he helped grow Google’s media, mobile and platforms division. Here’s Yahoo’s release: READ MORE »

Yahoo Taps Ken Goldman To Be CFO
SUNNYVALE, Calif.– Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) today announced that Ken Goldman will join the company as chief financial officer (CFO), effective Oct. 22. In this role, he will be responsible for Yahoo!’s global finance functions including financial planning and analysis, controllership, tax, treasury, and investor relations. Goldman will report directly to Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer.
Yahoo Completes $7.6B Stock Sale To Alibaba Group
The deal that the companies struck in May cuts in half Yahoo‘s 40% stake in the Chinese e-commerce giant. But it leaves a big question unanswered: What will Yahoo do with the cash? The company initially said it would return “substantially all” of the proceeds to shareholders. Last month, CEO Marissa Mayer — who took the top job in July — said that she’s rethinking “our restructuring plan, our share repurchase program” and the Alibaba repayment promise as she weighs options to revive the struggling Internet content giant. Yahoo shares are down 2.3% so far in 2012. Here’s today’s announcement about the sale:

Ryan Seacrest Productions Hires Ex-Yahoo Exec As EVP New Media
LOS ANGELES (July 20, 2012) – Ryan Seacrest Productions announced today that it has expanded its executive ranks by hiring veteran digital entertainment executive Sibyl Goldman as Executive Vice President of New Media. Goldman will drive and manage all digital entertainment strategy and content initiatives for the company. Goldman will report directly to Ryan Seacrest Productions CEO Adam Sher.
Goldman has been immersed in digital media and entertainment for the past 15 years, most recently, as the Vice President of Entertainment at Yahoo!. She oversaw all of the company’s entertainment properties, and created omg!, the #1 entertainment news website, which has been launched locally in 15 countries around the world. Leveraging the success of this property, she also was responsible for launching “omg! now,” a daily video news program that garners more than 7 million viewers per month. In addition, she developed “Primetime in No Time,” the first web-based TV recap show of its kind, which has since delivered over 500 million streams and spawned a spin-off show, “Daytime in No Time.”

Surprise! Yahoo Names Google’s Marissa Mayer CEO
So much for all the talk last week about interim CEO Ross Levinsohn landing the top job on a more secure basis. Mayer, 37, was the 20th employee at Google — and emerged as one of the company’s most prominent representatives. An engineer, she was credited with developing the look and feel of its most popular products including Google Maps. But her path to the top seemed blocked by the presence of Google’s co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The news of her appointment sent Yahoo shares up about 2% in after-market trading. Investors shouldn’t expect miracles: Yahoo has been struggling to find its place in the Internet advertising universe against Google and Facebook and other content providers. The company has been seen as a jack of all trades, with several compelling services — but no clear mission. The company’s stock has lost about 41% of its value over the last five years and has been stagnant lately. Last year the company ousted Carol Bartz from the top job. Her successor, Scott Thompson, was forced out in May after a dissident shareholder disclosed that he had exaggerated his college credentials. Third Point CEO Daniel Loeb, who led the attacks on Yahoo’s management, was added to the board along with two colleagues after he threatened to wage a proxy fight. Here’s today’s release:
