Former Head of Marketing for Yahoo, Search UK and Ireland Now at TouchLocal, a UK Business Directory

A brief item from the UK’s Netimperative reporting that Karl Gregory, the ex-head of marketing for Yahoo, Search UK & Ireland is now employed at Touch Local, a UK business directory where he will be responsible for acquisition and making sure businesses connect in an effective way with customers.

The article says that while he was at Yahoo, his main task was growing Yahoo Search, UK and Ireland.

Earlier this week, Danny posted about Yahoo VP, Rob Solomon, leaving the company to go lead SideStep. Last week, I blogged about Toni Schneider, the VP in charge of the Yahoo Developer Network, leaving for the blog publishing startup, Automattic. I postscripted that item with news that David Mandelbrot, the former VP of Content at Yahoo Search, left the company in early November.
