SURPRISE: YAHOO’S NEW CHIEF IS…..

#Shocked. Look whoYahoo just named as their CEO: Marissa Mayer, aka veteran exec at its major rival (see: Google). Her task to exponentially turn things around for the unstable web portal is daunting, to say the least. But her engineering background and innovative foresight make her a smart choice to take on the mercurial world of the Internet. Slightly off-topic, though: wonder how Google’s Larry Page took the news? You know, sharing the same title with someone who never got a shot on his senior leadership team, and all…. 

YAHOO’S CEO: TECH’S NEW FEMALE POWER?

Marissa Mayer’s CV has some serious muscle. Now she’s one of the youngest CEOs among the world’s mega-companies; she’s officially reached the upper echelon of most powerful women in her industry; and she’s already surpassed her contemporaries with a coveted engineering background. Ironic enough, she won’t be entertaining a ‘women-in-tech’ dialogue anytime soon - probably to cool any notion that she’s here to be saviour of womankind? Well, no ‘Saviour” title needed. But “Superwoman’? Sure, why not!
