Dulles, Va. - Just weeks ahead of its planned spinout from parent Time Warner (NYSE: TWX), AOL on Thursday named former Time Warner Cable executive Arthur Minson as its new executive vice president and CFO.

He replaces Nisha Kumar, who left the company earlier this summer. Minson most recently served as the executive vice president and CFO at Time Warner Cable, which also recently separated from Time Warner.

Earlier in his career, he led AOL's corporate finance and development activities.

"We're delighted to have Artie back at AOL as we continue our transition to an independent public company," said AOL CEO Tim Armstrong.

Minson will be headquartered in New York City. AOL expects to complete its separation around the end of this year, when it will become an independent, publicly traded company.
