Yahoo! parts! ways! with! CFO!

Thu, Feb 26th, 2009

Yahoo! has told the world that chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen is leaving the company. The struggling web portal announced the news this morning with an SEC filing.

The announcement comes less than a day after Jorgensen told an investor conference that Yahoo! had not ruled out the possibility of striking some sort of internet-search pact with Steve Ballmer and Microsoft.

"We want to do it for the right reasons and the right economics," he said, according to Bloomberg.

Earlier this week, reports indicated that new CEO Carol Bartz was preparing to reorganize her management team. On Monday, Hearst announced the hiring of Neeraj Khemlani, the vice president and general manager of Yahoo News. And yesterday, Yahoo! confirmed the departure of Marco Boerries, who oversaw Yahoo!'s mobile efforts as head of the company's "Connected Life" division.
