The years really do fly by. Looked her up and she’s currently a cofounder at a company that sells an iOS contacts app.

For anyone that isn't aware, she was also a very early Google employee (wikipedia says #20) and CEO of Yahoo for several years.

And she absolutely ran it into the ground.

Kinda hard to say it was just her. Yahoo! was already pretty much dead when she arrived.

For her first year, yahoo was growing in visits. 1 year into her tenure, yahoo had more visits than Google. The next four years were downhill. To me, that looks like Yahoo was on a path to recovery and she sunk it.

I was under the impression that running it into the ground was her job -- to turn it into a controlled crash rather than a completely unmanaged failure.

Yup time hasnt stopped yet. Been awhile since shes been in the press post yahoo sale. I guess that makes me kind of old.
