Yahoo! Europe’s Director of News, Sport and Information Lloyd Shepherd is leaving the post at the end of this month to go freelance.

Shepherd revealed his decision on his blog, Dadblog, explaining that the move was for personal reasons.

“I hope to do some freelancing (including at Y!), some consultancy and am even planning to launch a few smallish things of my own. I want to create some new media, break some news and start some campfires,” he wrote of his future plans.

It has been Shepherd’s second stint at Yahoo!. In 2001, he had left the portal’s UK and Ireland section to become deputy directory of digital publishing at the Guardian before returning to Yahoo! Europe in March 2006.
