Okay, It's Not Just Buh-Bye at Yahoo–Here Are Two Hires!
While it seems BoomTown is all about the who’s-leaving-Yahoo-now posts, it’s not so!
Case in point: Here are two folks the Silicon Valley Internet giant has just hired.
First, as announced in its Yodel Anecdotal blog yesterday, David Rice will join Yahoo (YHOO) as VP of Product for Media.
That means he will be managing the “strategy and execution for our News, Sports, Finance, Entertainment, Lifestyles, and Games product teams.”
Rice is from online video company Metacafe, where he was COO. He is also an ex-Yahoo, who worked as part of its international product team from 2005 to 2007.
Next is James Wildman, who will become managing director and VP of sales for Yahoo’s U.K. and Ireland unit.
He’ll start in January, after departing his job as managing director of Virgin Media’s ids advertising and media company.
