Levinsohn came under scrutiny just two months after he filled a void created when Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) ousted Scott Thompson as CEO.
Yahoo dumped Thompson amid a flap over misleading information on his official biography. Thompson’s departure came just eight months after Yahoo fired Carol Bartz as CEO.
