Industry Moves: Yahoo SVP Promotions; Ogilvy Names Chief Digital Officer; Netflix; Glam

– Yahoo has promoted two of its (now non-existent) media group VPs to SVPs. Scott Moore and Vince Broady are now SVPs and report to Jeff Weiner, EVP of the Network Division. Their responsibilities of overlooking various sub-divisions remain the same.
Cinemanow president Bruce Eisen has left the company, and has started his own consultancy firm Digital Advisors. He was with the online movie service for eight years.
— Netflix has appointed Cisco’s heir-apparent, Charlie Giancarlo to its board. “It’s a sign of both the need for Netflix to move more of its video distribution onto the Web – and Cisco’s increased focus on hooking up with content providers, and not just providing hardware and software to enterprises and service providers.”
— Ogilvy North America has recruited Jean-Philippe Maheu, a former CEO of Razorfish, to take on the newly created post of chief digital officer. Maheu spent six years at Razorfish, retiring in 2003 after guiding the sale of the company to SBI (which itself was acquired by aQuantive in 2004).
Glam Media has appointed Jennifer Salant to head its business development. She was formerly the VPof operations and strategic partnerships at iVillage/NBC.
