Case to Step Down from AOLTW

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-rat-to-flee dept.

squiggleslash writes "Reuters is reporting that Steve Case, the CEO of AOL Time Warner, is resigning, to be effective in May. He'll still be part of AOLTW but as a director responsible for joint strategy. There have been various moves afoot to oust the man who masterminded AOL's takeover of the media giant: the Time Warner part of the partnership wants control whereas Case came from the loss making super-ISP. Case quitting could be bad news for technologists given the current battles between content providers like Time Warner and the Internet and computer industries."

    It was probably because Case is not the CEO of AOLTW, he is the Chairman of the Board.

    The CEO is Richard D. Parsons.
