AOL Taps Yahoo Vet Coleman as Platform-A President

AOL has turned to a more traditional online sales executive to help revive its flagging advertising efforts, installing Yahoo veteran Greg Coleman as the new president of Platform-A, replacing Lynda Clarizio, the former head of Advertising.com.

Coleman’s hiring makes him the third head of Platform-A in less than two years. Clarizio’s own tenure in the position lasted less than a year, as the former law partner had replaced onetime Tacoda CEO Curt Viebranz last March–after he had been on the job just five months.
