Adios Mike Marchesano. The VNU "chief transformation officer" (huh?), who was once chief of Nielsen Business Media (back when it was known as VNU Business Media) beginning in 2001, announced he's quitting July 31, we're told.

Mike, of course, was heading up the media giant's publishing division during that whole dildo lawsuit; once the case against Billboard publisher John Kilcullen and exec editor Ken Schlager was settled, Mike was kicked upstairs to assume the CTO title (that, um, is usually reserved for "chief technology officer").

Mike's exit leaves Kilcullen as the only remaining exec from the Days of the Dildo. Such an honor, especially after those 100 job cuts.
