Finally, a funny from Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, confirming what BoomTown reported yesterday about the departures of three top execs in an e-mail memo to the company's employees worldwide. It just went out and began: "Carol from the foxhole here." Actually, she's in Georgia. In the memo, Bartz said she expects to announce the new head of the Americas region for Yahoo to replace outgoing chief Hilary Schneider before the end of the year. The company also released a similar statement, which is below, adding that Yahoo SVP of North America partnerships and business development Raymond Stern will take over for another outgoing exec, Audience Head David Ko. (Yahoo VP of Media Jimmy Pitaro was the third in the sweep of execs.) And you can see Yahoo's just-filed an 8-K here on Schneider, because a departure of such a top exec requires regulatory notification. It is also embedded below. (By the way, they are not rumors, if it is true. Don't drop-kick me to f***ing Mars for saying so, Carol!)
