Ari Balogh, Yahoo CTO says Goodbye
Yahoo's CTO, Ari Balogh has resigned and June 3 will be his last day at Yahoo. Mr. Balogh had joined Yahoo in 2008.
Here's Yahoo's official word:
“Ari Balogh, EVP, Products and CTO, has decided to leave Yahoo! for personal reasons. Ari plans to remain with the company until June 3 and will be working with the team to enable a smooth transition. We expect to name his replacement in the coming weeks. We thank him for his many contributions and wish him well.”
This is what Balogh said:
“While Yahoo! has become a family to me in many ways over the last two years, I have a situation with my personal family that is difficult and has driven me to make some changes in my life. This job was my dream job, which makes this decision very hard. I have been working with Carol on a succession plan that we will roll out over the coming weeks. Yahoo! has many opportunities to touch so many people’s lives and the company is well positioned to take advantage of every one of them. I am confident that the incredible people at Yahoo! will deliver against our vision to be the center of people’s online lives.”
