MTV president Christina Norman, who started at the company as a freelance production manager 17 years ago and worked her way up to the top gig, is leaving the network at the end of February.

No replacement has been named yet, though Van Toffler, who penned the memo announcing her departure, will fill her role in the interim.

didn't get staff positions a few weeks back. The full memo (via
TDS) after the jump.
