NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) said the co-founders of its online photo-sharing Web site Flickr are leaving, marking two more executive departures from the troubled Internet company.
Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield - the husband-and-wife co-founders of Flickr - are leaving, Yahoo spokeswoman Diana Wong said in an email. Fake's last day at Yahoo was June 13, while Butterfield's final day will be July 12.
Fake and Butterfield sold the photo-sharing company - which lets people upload digital pictures and share them on the Web - to Yahoo in 2005. In April, Yahoo added video technology to the site, allowing users to share short video clips.
Kakul Srivastava, currently senior director of product management for Flickr, will replace Butterfield as general manager, Yahoo spokesperson Terrell Karlsten said. Sara Wood, who recently joined the Flickr team, will serve as senior director of product management, Karlsten added.
