Yahoo replaces media chief as more execs leave

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc said on Monday it will appoint a former Microsoft Corp manager Jeff Dossett to lead its U.S. media business as two more executives left the beleaguered Internet business.

Dossett, who will report to Hilary Schneider, executive vice president of Yahoo US, is replacing Scott Moore, who is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities.

Before joining Yahoo, Dossett was an executive producer and general manager for Microsoft's MSN Media Network.

Several executives have quit Yahoo in recent months as uncertainty about its future has mounted since Microsoft first made a takeover bid in February.

Yahoo also confirmed that Alan Warms, the general manager of Yahoo News, is leaving the company and will be replaced by Neeraj Khemlani, Yahoo's vice president of programing.
