Yahoo’s Decker out, new CEO Bartz making early impression
After news leaked out earlier today that former Autodesk chief executive Carol Bartz will be Yahoo’s new chief executive, the company confirmed it via a press release - and added that president and erstwhile chief executive candidate Sue Decker (pictured) is resigning. So it’s the end of an unhappy era at Yahoo, maybe.
The usual niceties about Decker’s departure, in the press release:
Yahoo! also announced that President Sue Decker has informed the Board that she will resign after remaining with the Company for a transitional period. Bostock said, "The Board thanks Sue for her service as President, the important contributions she has made to Yahoo!’s development in a variety of roles over the past 8-1/2 years, and her willingness to work with Carol Bartz to ensure a smooth transition. We respect her decision to move on to other challenges and wish her only the best."
