Top Bebo Execs Head for the Exits

Angel Gambino, the Bebo exec who heads up attracting record labels and musicians to the site (officially “global vice president of music and content”), has resigned, CNET News said; she appears to be part of an executive exodus at the company following its $850 million acquisition by AOL.

The report said that Gambino is following Bebo founders Michael Birch and Xochi Birch out the door along with two other, unnamed higher-ups.

This isn’t surprising, given that the Time Warner head honcho himself has publicly expressed doubts over the merger. Bebo has a large user base, even if most of it is overseas, so it’s not like the company is folding tomorrow; still, this doesn’t look good.
