Mayer brought in couple of high level Google execs/managers in the last 12 months for exactly what you are talking about; Here are three I can remember (there might be others I don't know): Andrew Schulte as chief of Staff: http://hothardware.com/News/Yahoo-Chief-Marissa-Mayer-Poaches-Another-Google-Employee/ http://hothardware.com/News/Yahoo-Chief-Marissa-Mayer-Poache... Dylan Casey senior director in the platform organization: http://searchengineland.com/former-google-product-manager-goes-to-yahoo-as-senior-director-in-the-platform-organization-159228 http://searchengineland.com/former-google-product-manager-go... de Castro as chief operating officer: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444354004578059053762907948.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000087239639044435400457805... Also I replied else where how the Yahoo working environment changed since Mayer joined: http://www.quora.com/Yahoo/Is-it-true-that-Yahoo-is-better-to-work-for-now-June-2013 http://www.quora.com/Yahoo/Is-it-true-that-Yahoo-is-better-t... --------- At the end of day we will just have to wait and see how Mayer's strategy pans out. At least from what I can see she is taking things to the right direction.
