Yahoo editor-in-chief exits after firing of COO

Yahoo! Editor-in-Chief Jai Singh has left the company in the wake of Wednesday’s firing of COO Henrique De Castro, according to a report from the independent tech news site Re/code.

The reason for Singh’s exit is unclear.

Company CEO Marissa Mayer announced in an internal memo Wednesday that the media unit will now operate under Yahoo! marketing chief Kathy Savitt.
Singh, a veteran journalist who previously worked at CNET and the Huffington Post, joined Yahoo! in 2011.
