Jolie Hunt, who joined AOL in July as chief marketing and communications officer, is leaving her post as CEO Tim Armstrong works to decentralize communications.
The former senior VP-global head of brand & PR at Thomson Reuters was in charge of AOL’s internal/external communications, social media, events and corporate social responsibility programs.
Hunt’s departure comes just ahead of AOL’s $10M branding campaign. She’s in charge of that push to herald a revitalized AOL, which earned $20M during the September-ended quarter vs. a $2.6M year ago loss.
Prior to TR, Hunt was global director of corporate and business affairs at IBM, and PR director for the Financial Times. She has not been reached.
The Wall Street Journal noted that Hunt is the fourth marketing/communications executive to leave AOL this year. |
