nada_stirrattMySpace announced the filling of four slots in its executive ranks. MTV veteran Nada Stirratt has joined as chief revenue officer. iLike founders Ali Partovi and Hadi Partovi — the two are brothers — have become SVP of business development and SVP of Technology, respectfully (iLike was acquired by MySpace earlier this year.) Finally, Dustin Finer has been hired as Chief People Officer.

Here’s MySpace’s bio on Stirratt, from the email announcement of her hiring:

“Prior to MySpace, Stirratt served as Executive Vice President of Digital Advertising at MTV Networks where she oversaw advertising sales and strategy, ad operations, Digital Fusion-integrated marketing, and Tribes, the company’s third-party vertical affiliate network. Before MTV, Nada served as Senior Vice President and General Manager of advertising sales at Advertising.com. Earlier in her career, Stirratt worked in ad sales and business development for such entertainment brands as AOL-Time Warner, Moviefone, Allure and Cosmopolitan.”

    I wonder what will happen when they realize they'll get more pageviews with a 2-minute reality shows than free webhosting for bands (and others).
