AOL Loses CTO, Top Engineer and TechCrunch EIC in Same Day
It’s been a rough week for AOL, and it’s only Tuesday. Yesterday Alex Gounares, CTO of AOL, Tim Dierks, Senior Vice President of Engineering, and Erick Schonfeld, Editor-in-Chief of TechCrunch, all left the company.
Gounares had been with AOL since 2010. Since Dierks was hired by Gounares, All Things D reports that the two departures are connected. There is no word on who will replace Gounares, but Michael Manos will succeed Dierks.
TechCrunch, which also lost top reporter Jason Kincaid on Friday, announced that Eric Eldon will succeed Schonfeld.
