Mayer Takes Google Product Prowess to Yahoo By Brian Womack July 17, 2012 Bloomberg Business Week http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-07-17/ yahoo-s-mayer-brings-google-product-prowess-to-turnaround-bid . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/84rxf65 . .Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) (YHOO) named Marissa Mayer as chief executive officer, appointing a technologist who has managed some of Google Inc. (GOOG) (GOOG)s most popular products to help stem user defections and reverse market-share losses that fueled three years of sales declines at the biggest U.S. Web portal.
.Mayer, a 13-year Google veteran, takes the helm today, just as Yahoo prepares to report second-quarter results after the close of trading. She replaces Ross Levinsohn, who ran Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo on an interim basis after Scott Thompson resigned in May over inaccuracies in his resume.
.In hiring Googles Mayer, 37, the Web portal turns to the company that unseated it as the Web-search leader and played a central role in Yahoos decline. The new CEO is an engineer skilled at designing and tailoring products to customers tastes, yet she lacks experience in running a large business and courting big advertisers.
.What she did at Google was really focus on the user experience more than anything else; Yahoo does need that, said Benjamin Schachter, an analyst at Macquarie Securities USA Inc. But it needs many other things as well. The fact that she had not been a CEO before certainly raised some eyebrows.
