MUMBAI: News Corp has announced that Owen Van Natta will step down from his position as MySpace CEO, effective immediately.
Van Natta will be replaced by newly-elevated co-Presidents Mike Jones and Jason Hirschhorn, who will each report to News Corp chairman and CEO of Digital Media Jon Miller. All three executives joined MySpace in April 2009, with Jones and Hirschhorn previously serving as COO and chief product officer, respectively.
Jones and Hirschhorn noted, "We joined MySpace last April with very a specific set of goals in mind, and are anxious to continue working together to make those goals a reality. This business is now pointed in the right direction, and we have a great team of employees that will continue to push MySpace closer to its potential as the place where people go to be discovered and to discover great content.”
