I thought Yahoo was a goner for sure.
On the day Mayer took over, if you sat me down and said "Michael, discuss the most optimistic yet still possible scenario for Yahoo's future", I would have dismissed the current course as implausible.
That doesn't mean they're saved, but Mayer as a CEO has exceeded my (very low) expectations.
- leothekim 13y agoAgree that part of their success is that they're setting low expectations. When Meyer said "We promise not to screw it up"[1] after dropping >$1 billion on Tumblr, I thought to myself "Way to set the bar low, Marissa."
