| New Yahoo! CEO, Marissa Mayer |
Longtime Google executive Marissa Mayer (one of Silicon Valley's best-known personalities) starts work today as Yahoo CEO, becoming one of the most prominent female leaders in business.
The struggling Internet giant announced Monday that it is turning to Mayer, 37 — its fifth CEO in five years — to spearhead a massive turnaround effort that has gained little traction the past few years.Mayer succeeds interim CEO Ross Levinsohn, who took over for the ousted Scott Thompson, who was shown the door on Mother's Day following résumé inaccuracies. Thompson took over for Carol Bartz earlier this year, after she was shown the door.
At Google, Mayer earned kudos for her management of several key technologies and a reputation as a demanding perfectionist. She molded the look and feel of some of the company's best known, and used, products — services such as Google's search, Gmail and Google News.
Is this a sign of better things to come at Yahoo!? Only time will tell ...
