Investment firm appoint former Yahoo! Music chief

A California based investment firm called Benchmark Capital has announced it has hired former Yahoo! Music chief David Goldberg to help "evaluate investment opportunities in consumer media markets". The company's Bruce Dunlevie told reporters: "Dave is an accomplished entrepreneur, an influential music industry executive, and a driving force in the online music industry. As a pioneer in digital media, he experienced firsthand the opportunities and challenges faced by consumers, advertisers, artists, and media companies as the music industry moved online". Goldberg took the top job at Yahoo! Music after the web firm acquired his company Launch. He announced he was leaving the company back in February.
