Yahoo Inc. said Monday that it has hired former Microsoft Corp. executive Jeff Dossett to oversee the Internet company's news and entertainment sites in the United States.
He replaces another former Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) alumnus, Scott Moore, who is leaving to pursue other opportunities.
Moore, who spent the past 3 1/2 years steering some of the most-read sections of Yahoo (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people )'s Web site, joins a long line of Yahoo executives who have defected during the past two years as the Sunnyvale-based company struggles to snap out of a financial funk that has hammered its stock price.
At least 1,500 Yahoo employees, or about 10 percent of the company's work force, will be shown the door before the end of the year as part of a cost-cutting purge.
An accomplished mountain climber, Dossett most recently was general manager of Microsoft's MSN.com. Moore also helped program MSN before joining Yahoo in 2005.
While at Microsoft, Dossett worked with Joanne Bradford, who recently joined Yahoo as its top advertising sales executive in the United States.
