It&#8217;s honestly befuddling that Yahoo was able to snatch away the kind of top talent that Mayer brings to the table, but sure enough, the <em>New York Times&#8217; Dealbook<\/em> blog confirmed the out-of-left-field appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While at Google, Mayer was responsible for User Experience on Search and Google News, GMail, Google Images and was later tapped to head up Google&#8217;s local and location products. Recently, Mayer had been tapped by Wal-Mart to be one of two women on their 16 person Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayer definitely has her work cut out for her at the once powerful Yahoo. As pointed out by the <em>Times<\/em>, things haven&#8217;t fared well for Yahoo&#8217;s CEOs over the last decade; or as they put it, &#8220;the revolving door corner office.&#8221; Either way, well see what&#8217;s next for both Mayer and Yahoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/dealbook.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/16\/googles-marissa-mayer-tapped-as-yahoos-chief\/\">New York Times<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekwire.com\/2012\/wow-googles-marissa-mayer-named-yahoo-ceo\/\">Geekwire<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Google exec Marissa Mayer takes the helm at Yahoo, sparking hopes for a comeback.
