MySpace COO Amit Kapur has announced that he’s leaving the company to launch a new startup, and he’s taking senior VP of technology Jim Benedetto and senior VP of product strategy Steve Pearman with him. The trio are leaving in a few weeks time after a transition phase, but CEO Chris DeWolfe has sent an internal company memo maintaining that the departure is entirely amicable, and that “Despite what the market tells us, 2009 will be a big year for our business” thanks to the company’s new advertising initiatives.
