Marketing Chief Joinsexodus From Yahoo SHAKERS MARKETPLACE By Bloomberg

By Bu Vivek Shankar

Cammie Dunaway is leaving her post as chief marketing officer of Yahoo, which owns the most-visited U.S. Web site. The decision makes her the latest executive to depart amid a reorganization of the Internet company.

Dunaway’s last day will be Nov. 2, Yahoo said Friday. Dunaway, 45, also oversaw the branding and design of the products of the company that is based in Sunnyvale, California.

Jerry Yang, a co-founder who took over as chief executive of Yahoo in June, is shuffling executives and overhauling the company’s products to regain ground lost to Google in the online advertising market. In August, Yahoo announced the departure of Gregory Coleman, the company’s head of sales.

Wenda Harris Millard, who oversaw Yahoo’s graphic ad sales, Peggy White, head of the finance site, and the company’s chief technology officer, Farzad Nazem, have all also left since May. –
