LONDON (Brand Republic) - Yahoo! announced that its head of sales Anil Singh is leaving the company, less than a week after Tim Koogle said he was stepping down as chief executive.

Anil Singh, who is chief sales and marketing officer and senior vice-president of business operations, is leaving in May to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests.

Last week Yahoo! said its first-quarter earnings would miss targets because of the decline in online advertising.
