Jeff Levick, AOL’s president of global advertising and strategy one-time Google executive is leaving the company in line with the firm’s revamp aimed to boost its advertising sales.

After a six-week transition period Levick will leave AOL, as reported in the memo obtained by Reuters.

Ned Brody, who is in charge of the company's advertising network, was promoted to chief revenue officer.

"We won't be hitting the pause button this week, we'll be on fast-forward," AOL Chief Executive Tim Armstrong said in the memo.

Lauren Hurvitz, head of corporate communications, and Kathy Andreasen, the head of human resources, both of whom were hired in October, will also be leaving the company.
