In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Yahoo announced that Tuesday will be his final day with the company, and outlined a severance package worth several million dollars. Levinsohn, previously executive vice president of the company's Americas region, in May replaced former CEO Scott Thompson on an interim basis, after Thompson was forced to step down amid allegations that he misrepresented his academic credentials. Earlier this month, however, Yahoo replaced him with former Google executive Marissa Mayer. According to several published reports, Levinsohn had been negotiating his exit from the company for several days. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1011006/000119312512322824/d387980d8k.htm _____________________________________________ o S.F.-Based Lending Club Names John MacIlwaine as New CTO San Francisco -- Lending Club, the San Francisco-based developer of an online peer lending service where people borrow and lend money among each other, on Tuesday named John MacIlwaine as its new CTO.

In addition, he has held executive and senior-level management positions at Green Dot, Envestnet and SunGard Data Systems. "John's leadership of the technology products and teams at two of the most recognizable and relevant names in financial services, Visa and Morgan Stanley, represent an ideal fit for Lending Club," said CEO Renaud Laplanche. As of July 30, Lending Club has enabled more than $750 million in cumulative loan originations and is currently facilitating more than $50 million in new loan issuance a month. http://www.lendingclub.com http://www.marketwatch.com/story/lending-club-taps-former-visa-and-morgan-stanley-executive-as-chief-technology-office-2012-07-31 _____________________________________________ o Redwood City-Based EA Names Blake Jorgensen as CFO Redwood City, Calif. -- Electronic Arts (EA), the Redwood City-based developer and publisher of video games, on Tuesday named Blake Jorgensen as its new executive vice president and CFO.
