Charles Stiles, AOL’s postmaster and the company’s public face to e-mail service providers, has been laid off, Magilla Marketing has learned.

Stiles was reportedly let go as part of a mass layoff of 2,000 employees the embattled Web company announced earlier this month.

E-mail marketers and service providers know Stiles primarily for his frequent appearances at industry conferences as a representative of AOL, and as a contact through which to resolve delivery issues with the Web portal. He was let go with several other members of the organization’s e-mail team.

Stiles’ boss, Mike Jones, is reportedly still with the company.

The question, of course, is where Stiles will end up next. One possible fit for him would be Goodmail Systems, a company that has lost at least three top executives in recent months.

Richard Gingras stepped aside as Goodmail’s CEO in July, leaving John Ouren and Daniel Dreymann as co-CEO’s. Ouren, however, left Goodmail less than two months later to take a job at online market research technology provider MarketTools.

Goodmail also recently reportedly lost Ken Hirschman, its vice president of business development.

The company currently lacks a public face, so to speak. This is a role Stiles could fill fairly easily.

Reached on his cell phone, Stiles said he has, indeed, found another job but declined to elaborate other than to say it’s in Silicon Valley.

David Atlas, Goodmail’s vice president of worldwide sales and marketing, did not return a call for comment.

An AOL spokeswoman said the company does not comment on issues about individual personnel.
