United Online CFO Stepping Down

United Online President and Chief Financial Officer Charles Hilliard announced his resignation Wednesday from the company effective at the end of the month. Hilliard is leaving the Woodland Hills-based Internet and media services company to take a position with a privately-held Internet firm. Hilliard has been in management at the company since 1999. “With exciting prospects in Content and Media and a sound profitability strategy in its Communications segment, I believe the company is well positioned for the future,” Hilliard said. United Online Chairman and CEO Mark Goldston will assume the title of president until a replacement is named. Neil P. Edwards, the company’s senior vice president of finance, treasurer, and chief accounting officer has been appointed as interim CFO effective on June 1.
