Marissa utterly failed at Yahoo. Her advice is not to be listened to, IMO.

  Her job was to increase shareholder value. She did exactly that, and very well.

    Meh. Not impressed by her work at Yahoo either. Most of the valuable contributions that Yahoo made from an innovation standpoint pre-dated her arrival. Also, she was largely billed as a catalyst for sparking Google-esque innovation but her tenure was marred by copy cat initiatives and ideas that were not fresh and ultimately lead to Yahoo just cashing out.

      None of that matters, her job was to extract shareholder value from Yahoo, not save puppies or innovate or grow the business. She organised splitting off parts for sale for big money paychecks. I'm far from her biggest fan, but she did what she was hired to do as CEO.
