The years really do fly by. Looked her up and she’s currently a cofounder at a company that sells an iOS contacts app.
- jcims 5y agoFor anyone that isn't aware, she was also a very early Google employee (wikipedia says #20) and CEO of Yahoo for several years.
- thallium205 5y agoAnd she absolutely ran it into the ground.
- seanieb 5y agoKinda hard to say it was just her. Yahoo! was already pretty much dead when she arrived.
- cowsandmilk 5y agoFor her first year, yahoo was growing in visits. 1 year into her tenure, yahoo had more visits than Google. The next four years were downhill. To me, that looks like Yahoo was on a path to recovery and she sunk it.
- codingdave 5y agoI was under the impression that running it into the ground was her job -- to turn it into a controlled crash rather than a completely unmanaged failure.
- boringg 5y agoYup time hasnt stopped yet. Been awhile since shes been in the press post yahoo sale. I guess that makes me kind of old.
