YouTube (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has turned to a Verizon veteran to lead its product partnerships.
The company has tapped Miguel Quiroga, who spent more than 20 years at Verizon, to take on the new role effective Sept. 12.

He'll be responsible for the YouTube experience across its partner ecosystem, including partnerships for YouTube's core video app, YouTube Music, YouTube TV and its shopping services.
He fills a gap in place since Heather Rivera exited YouTube in February, Variety notes.
At Verizon, Quiroga most recently served as senior VP of platforms and ecosystems in the carrier's Consumer Group.
