WILL NEWLY APPOINTED YAHOO CEO, MARISSA MAYER SAVE YAHOO?

Its no news that internet giant, Yahoo! appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, Marissa Mayer, an American business executive. She’s only worked for 13-years in Google. She’s only 37 years old and that makes her the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500  company. She also oversaw the layout of Google’s search homepage. She also was Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location Services and, before that, Vice President of Search Products and User Experience all at Google. She has been a powerhouse of creativity and business acumen for one of the world’s most innovative companies, Google. Will that continue with Yahoo?

With her new mantle comes greater responsibility as she now placed at the prominence in Silicon Valley. What is more interesting now is that She’s expecting a baby boy in October, making her one of the first-ever pregnant women at the helm of a Fortune 500 company.  ”I like to stay in the rhythm of things,”…”My maternity leave will be a few weeks long, and I’ll work throughout it.” she said in an article with Europe’s Guardian Newspaper.

With all of these achievements, strides and accomplishments, one would hardly doubt her ability to save Yahoo! But does it really work that way? Will she save the ‘dying’ company?
