Who says you can’t go home again? Arthur Minson, former head of AOL’s corporate-finance and development activities, is rejoining the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer, leaving his posts as executive VP and deputy CFO at Time Warner Cable.

It’s a logical move, as Time Warner Cable recently became a public company, spinning off from Time Warner, and AOL is in the process of doing the same thing.

At Time Warner Cable, Minson oversaw accounting, financial planning and analysis, operations finance, corporate services and internal audit functions, as well as working with the company’s treasury and internal-revenue departments and senior management to craft company strategy in those areas.

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong said:

We’re delighted to have Artie back at AOL as we continue our transition to an independent public company. Artie’s strong financial acumen, operating experience and deep understanding of our company and the Internet and content industries make him a perfect fit for AOL. He’s also a public-company veteran who helped handle Time Warner Cable’s transition to a public company. Artie will hit the ground running and be a tremendous asset to AOL as we focus on driving growth, value and innovation.

And Minson added:

This is a wonderful opportunity to rejoin AOL at one of the most important and exciting times in this great company’s history. AOL has an incredible collection of assets, and Tim has set the company on the right strategic course. I look forward to working with Tim and the entire AOL organization to help maximize the financial and operating performance of these assets and their value for investors.
