AllThingsD: According to sources, Yahoo’s media head Mickie Rosen is leaving the Silicon Valley Internet giant.
Rosen, who reported to COO Henrique De Castro, is one of the highest-ranking execs to depart the company in recent months. Others include design head Tim Parsey.
The experienced Rosen is apparently not taking another job and Yahoo does not seem to have someone to replace her immediately. Given her top rank, the company will likely have to file a regulatory document about her departure.

If you're buying a Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ from Verizon, expect to see Yahoo-based apps and Bixby news content on your devices in the near future.
Only stupid people buy phones on plans anyway, so this is right up their alley.
Buy CLEAN phone crapware-free for $500 now, or pay $3,000 for crapware-filled phone over 2 years...
Hmm hard decisions...
All talk, no real action or insight. Yahoo loves empty suits.
Chances are they will choose another woman for this spot and this is why Yahoo is so biased. Look at how few media content positions are filled by men at Yahoo.
