Having retaken the reins as CEO, Larry Page is clearly mulling a reorganization of Google’s structure, one that eliminates the powerful center that’s so pervasive at the search giant today and replaces it with the business unit autonomy that’s made the company’s Android division so successful.

In the wake of the departures of two top ad execs to social buying sites, the hiring of another from AOL and a whole new sales management team in place, it’s got to be time for a reorg at Yahoo!
And so it is, just before the company’s annual sales conference takes place.

This shouldn’t be a shock, given that Condé Nast has been reorging and restructuring its digital operations for a couple of years now: Condé Nast Digital head Sarah Chubb is leaving the company after 20 years. She hasn’t announced a new job; Condé says it will announce a replacement “in the coming weeks.”

David Zinman, Yahoo’s VP and GM for display advertising–who came to the company via its acquisition of BlueLithium ad network–is leaving the company and will be replaced by the CEO of Dapper, another ad-related Yahoo purchase.
The move in Yahoo’s most important revenue unit comes even as its new leader, Americas EVP Ross Levinsohn, reorgs his management team.

Sorry, folks, but–despite reports–Yahoo will not be unveiling another new organizational structure this week.
In actuality, the beleaguered Internet giant is just cleaning up from last week’s shake-up–in which it announced that a chunk of its top media and sales leadership was leaving–as well as settling in new hires made in recent months by its relatively new product head, Blake Irving.
In fact, those changes in Irving’s unit have resulted in the departure of two more execs. That would be former SVP of Media Products and Solutions Jeff Kinder and SVP for Cloud Computing Shelton Shugar, who are on their way out.

Here’s how Yahoo’s top brass and board–with the help of its newly re-engaged crisis-management PR firm, Abernathy MacGregor–are already trying to spin the latest executive turmoil to hit the company:
Trashing those on the way out, to take focus off those remaining who have been just as responsible for driving the Internet icon, and claiming that this is all part of yet another well-planned reorganization at Yahoo.
Don’t believe most of it for a second. Some of it is corporate politics as usual, some of it rejiggering of events, some just not true at all.
