UW Grad New CEO of Yahoo

January 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Technology

Carol Bartz was named the new CEO of Yahoo! today, replacing Jerry Yang. I know nothing about her, other than she’s a UW grad, which is good enough in my book!

Yahoo! faces huge challenges ahead and hopefully she can turn them around.

EDIT: My brother informs me that Bartz gave a guest lecture in one of his UW Computer Science classes this year and that she seemed smart and interesting.
