Internet giant Google is losing one of its top executives—but not to a hot startup company or a technology giant. Instead, Google Chief Information Office Douglas Merril is signing on with the music label EMI.
"I have two passions," Merril said in a statement. "One is creating platforms and tools that make it easier for consumers to achieve their goals. The other is music. This exciting new role at EMI is a unique opportunity for me to be able to put those two passions to work together and help deliver EMI’s objective of providing the best services in the world to consumers and musicians."
