Altera’s Tim Morse Tapped as Yahoo CFO

Looks like Yahoo has found its new CFO. This afternoon, the company said Tim Morse will take charge of its finances. Morse, who has served as CFO for chip maker Altera since 2007 and spent 15 years at GE before that, will start work on June 17 and assume CFO responsibilities on July 1.
Welcome news, since Yahoo has been looking to fill the position since Blake Jorgensen said he would step down from the company last February.




Interesting turn of events in the Apple-Psystar spat. The unauthorized Mac clone maker has filed for bankruptcy. Seems Psystar’s acrimonious legal battle with Apple and the souring economy have had a deleterious effect on its finances.
