Cofounder Alexis Maybank, pictured here, will become chief strategist. Through AlleyCorp, DoubleClick cofounder Kevin Ryan owns both Gilt Groupe and Silicon Alley Insider, the tech blog which reported the news, citing "a source familiar with the situation," which we think is journalismspeak for "Kevin Ryan."

As Gawker pointed out, the stock price is tanking, but Lyne did bring the company's books back to black after Stewart's obstruction-of-justice conviction. (Photo by AP/Mary Altaffer)
