Owen Van Natta Named CEO of MySpace

Former top Facebook executive Owen Van Natta has been named CEO of MySpace.

The 39-year-old Van Natta, who was most recently CEO of the online music company Playlist, replaces MySpace co-founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe.

DeWolfe this week said he was stepping down as part of a management shakeup initiated by Jonathan Miller — News Corp.’s recently installed CEO of digital media/chief digital officer.  

At Facebook, Van Natta originally served as COO starting in 2005 and then as chief revenue officer and vp of operations until early 2008.
