Thomson replaced as AOL Europe chief

by Media Week, Media Week 07-Nov-06

AOL Europe president Karen Thomson has left the company and immediately been replaced by Carlo d'Asaro Biondo, currently chief executive of AOL France.

Thomson spent 11 years with the company and moved up to the role of
European president from the UK chairman and chief executive job in April
this year.

Her departure follows the sale of AOL's UK ISP business to Carphone

Warehouse last month. AOL is now restructuring as a portal-only business

in the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands.

Joe Redling, AOL president and AOL International chief executive, said
d'Asaro Biondo was "eminently qualified for the role".

"He will bring renewed vision, energy, innovation and commitment to
growing our web services business in Europe," Redling said.

Thomson joined AOL in 1995 as UK marketing director in the year prior to
its launch over here.
