BUSINESS BRIEFING / INTERNET
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Google Inc. said David Rosenblatt, head of the DoubleClick advertising business it acquired last year, is leaving the company.
Rosenblatt ran Google’s display business, which handles banner advertising and other graphical ads. Henrique De Castro, a manager of European ad sales, will replace him, a Google spokeswoman said. She declined to give a reason for Rosenblatt’s departure.
Rosenblatt is the former chief executive of DoubleClick Inc., which Google bought for $3.2 billion, acquiring technology that sells display ads and measures their effectiveness. Google makes most of its money from text-only links that run next to query results.
