There were lots of great Executive additions this week. I decided to highlight Jeffrey Levick, the new President of Global Advertising and Strategy at AOL. Anyone who works in High Tech recruiting knows that no one ever leaves Google. So, Mr Levick moving from Google to AOL, in my opinion, is a huge deal. Back in March, Tim Armstrong left Google to become CEO of AOL, perhaps Tim had something to do  with Jeffrey's move? For years, Google and AOL have seemed to be companies going in opposite directions, maybe Jeffrey and Tim can change that.
