Ko Replaces Boerries as Yahoo Mobile Chief

On the heels of the news that Marco Boerries has resigned as EVP of Connected Life at Yahoo, the company has named David Ko as his replacement. Ko is no stranger to all things Yahoo; he’s been with the company for nine years, most recently serving as SVP of Yahoo Mobile, Fierce Mobile Content reports.

In his new position at the helm of Yahoo’s worldwide mobile business, Ko will oversee the unit’s “business, strategy and monetization teams,” the article says.

Now we just have to wait and see how the corporate streamlining planned by CEO Carol Bartz plays out.
