Venture beat reports that Yahoo loses VP of consumer search, to Accel Partners. Andrew Braccia was the vice president of Yahoo’s consumer web search and he left Yahoo earlier this month. He began his journey with Accel Partners, a well-known Silicon Valley venture capital firm today.

He worked under Jeff Weiner for six years and was responsible for all business and operational aspects of Yahoo’s consumer search business. He was famously known for the integration of Inktomi, Overture and Alta Vista, launching Yahoo Answers and aquiring Del.icio.us and Flickr.

At Accel, he’ll help the firm’s consumer Internet investors manage a portfolio of investments that include Glam Media, Facebook, BitTorrent, and others.
