Report: Biondi, Chapple To Join Yahoo Board
ADOTAS – Yahoo will likely announce the appointment to its board of former Viacom Inc. chief executive Frank Biondi and former Nextel Partners CEO John Chapple, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
The announcement is slated to be handed down Friday. Another potential board member, former Grey Global Group Inc. ad agency head Edward Meyer, is reportedly no longer under consideration for the post.
Biondi and Chapple, if approved, will fill the slots created in Yahoo’s agreement with billionaire activist Carl Icahn, who forced Yahoo to expand its board to include himself and two others from a pool of his choosing.
