Carol Bartz appointed as new Yahoo CEO
Yahoo has chosen former Autodesk CEO Carol Bartz as its next CEO to replace Jerry Yang, according to a Wall Street Journal report, in what is seen by many as one of the greatest turnaround challenges of the internet age, with an economic slowdown and a legacy of miscues in 2008 which most notably include the unsuccessful takeover bid from Microsoft and a failed advertising deal with Google.
Bartz is really facing quite a storm here but she is no stranger to running a large company. She currently serves at Autodesk as the executive chairman and was CEO from 1992 to 1996, a period in which the company diversified its product line and saw its revenue rise from $285 million to $1.523 billion. Bartz has also worked for Sun Microsystems and serves on the board of both Cisco Systems (with Jerry Yang) and Intel (alongside Yahoo president Susan Decker).
