Shiva Rajaraman, a YouTube executive shepherding the video site’s music subscription service, is leaving the company for Spotify, the popular music streaming service. Rajaraman oversaw consumer products for YouTube, and is the latest in a string of executives to leave the company since Susan Wojcicki took over as CEO in February.
Product chief Shishir Mehrotra left in June, while Chris LaRosa, who was also working on the music subscription service, left last month for an undisclosed job. YouTube executives said at the time that LaRosa’s departure would not impact the launch of the service, which is scheduled for later this year.
