Why Marissa Mayer?

• dismantlethesun 9y ago
  She did good work at Google, both in software engineering, user experience planning, and handling a large high-revenue department (Adwords). Which from the sound of it might make her a better CTO than CEO, but I certainly wouldn't judge her just by Yahoo. She likely has the capacity to do well at a growing company, with a clear path to profit (aka no more pivoting), which is exactly what Uber is and Yahoo was not.

    Oh she did a great job at Yahoo! if you use the right measurement: shareholder value.
