AOL Loses Ad Tech Head Ned Brody in Portal Tug of War

Exec reportedly being courted by Yahoo

AOL has lost the leader of its business’s biggest bright spot. The company confirmed on Thursday that Ned Brody, who ran AOL’s ad tech arm AOL Networks, has resigned. All Things D first reported Brody’s departure on Wednesday and that Yahoo is trying to hire him to run North American sales, which AOL wouldn’t comment on. Yahoo declined to comment.

The loss of Brody is a significant blow to AOL as CEO Tim Armstrong navigates its resurrection.
