Yahoo! Inc has lost another senior exec. This time, Anil Singh, chief sales and marketing officer and senior vice president of business operations, will retire from Yahoo! in early May.

Singh plans to spend more time with his family and pursue personal interests, according to a statement issued last night.

However, that kind of terminology is more often used when someone is sacked.

It's not been a great time for Yahoo!. Last week its shares were suspended amid warnings that revenues were heading southwards.

CEO Tim Koogle announced he was stepping down although he would stay on as chairman. ®
