Marissa Mayer is the CEO
of Yahoo! She has rocketed herself to the front line of the most
powerful woman in tech and the youngest
CEO on the books of the world’s largest companies. Mayer has a degree
in symbolic system and computer science; she is just not an executive figure on
the top. This genius lady became the youngest
woman to become the CEO
of a Fortune 500 company and at that time she was pregnant therefore
news caused a stir in the media. Mayer is a CEO, a mom to be, a social ideal
and most talked about woman of her times, all at once.
One thing is said
about Marissa Mayer that almost everyone agrees that she is among the smartest
people you could meet. Mayer chose to go to Stanford
University after scrutinizing the pros and corns of ten colleges that
she got accepted at. There were few months left for her to graduate and she was
already getting job offers. She also had a job offer from a company called Google
in her mail waiting for her to click. Mayer decided to risk it and accept the
offer from the Google which was tech start up at that time. She became the 20th
employee at the Google.
In the same year, Marissa
Mayer was asked to come in for an informal interview with the recruiting team
at Yahoo. Mayer explained her candidacy and convinced the team of her abilities
to revive the failing company. The news that Mayer had severed ties with
Google, and was going to become CEO of Yahoo was met with an ecstatic reaction
from within the company. The industry reverberated with the news as Mayer
became the youngest female CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
