Huffington Post Dismisses SVP of Sales

Loew bounced after background check

After a short three months on the job, Huffington Post ad sales chief Moritz Loew has been dismissed by AOL.

According to Ad Age, Loew alleges the dismissal was the result of a background check and an outstanding warrant from a 2003 DWI charge. 

A spokesperson from AOL confirmed the dismissal to Adweek noting only that "recent information has indicated that Moritz’s hiring did not meet AOL requirements." The spokesperson could not comment as to whether Loew's alleged background check happened before or after his hire. 

Last June Loew spoke highly of Arianna Huffington and The Huffington Post in an interview with Adweek citing similar philosophies on grand scale ideas.
