MySpace universal Head Travis Katz Is Out

More poor news at MySpace. As we await what are likely to be significant cuts in MySpace’s worldly headcount, MySpace universal managing director Travis Katz is out, we’ve heard from a source in the UK. MediaWeek is also reporting that.

Katz joined MySpace in early 2006 as Vice President worldly, taking a SVP and Managing Director title in October 2006. He is responsible for all non-US operations for MySpace, IGN and other Fox Interactive Media properties. He grew staff from 2 to more than 400 in a span of 2 years.

How many of those 400 universal employees will shortly be following?

We’ll likely know soon. worldly employees were spared from the 30% layoffs last week due to legal requirements for notice in some countries, particularly in Europe. But the clock is still ticking on those employees.

I nearly interviewed Katz at Davos earlier that year, but he was not available at the moment of the interview. Former CEO Chris DeWolfe went solo.
