marissa

My bet is Marissa is trying to build more driven, savvy, smarter leadership by buying it and promising influence.

Before Marissa took over Yahoo wasn't even worth mentioning anymore outside of sentences containing the word 'downhill' or equivalent.

That's right, you don't see the same level of vitriol directed at Marissa Mayer or Anne Wojcicki for a reason.

The worst thing you can do is be lazy in that situation giving Marissa Mayer more fuel to her bs mantra.

Looking at the list of acquisitions since Marissa Mayer's arrival [0], the theme seems to be pageviews + content + userbase + advertising.

I would say that if all measures Marissa is doing don`t help Yahoo, nothing can help Yahoo.

And further, I don't think that Satya and Marissa would lag as much with the CEO of {Company Name} scheme.

We're in the middle of a similar story with Yahoo, and time will tell if Marissa Mayer is be able to right that ship.

I may be the only person on HN who is bullish on Marissa Mayer's strategy.

Identity coherence in Google products left when Marissa Mayer did.

I read/heard yahoo suffers from this problem,one of the reason Marissa Mayer is struggling.

I said Marissa may find herself out of a job if things don't improve.

>But Marissa Mayer, who was then a Google vice president, said Google didn’t use click-through rates to determine the ranking for its own specialized-search sites, because they would rank too low, according to the staff report >Instead, Google would “automatically boost” its own sites for certain specialized searches that otherwise would favor rivals, the FTC found.

Marissa Mayer may have a lot of issues, but lack of will and technical knowledge is not one of them.

For Yahoo's sake, I hope Marissa's plan isn't to sell off Yahoo 10b at a time to boost net profits.

They brought a few of their folks with them: their founder Larry, one of their female engineers, Marissa, and some others.
