In hindsight is seems obvious Meyer was not the right person, but it didn’t seem too bad at the time. I've not met her not have real inside information but my impression is she is a super smart attention to detail type person. This is great for someone 'optimising' a business but that’s not what Yahoo needs. Yahoo needs (or needed) vision and reinvention. They probably needed someone a bit maverick. Maybe someone that has been a founding/creating force in several (to show repeat-ability over right place/time) mid-size successful start-ups that rethink/create a new industry and give them a chance to play in the big leagues. It would be risky but Yahoo largely faces a long decline without some serious redirection. Optimisation of the business will only slow that. ...and I acknowledge this comment is extremely opinionated off limited information.
