雅虎新CEO梅耶尔在伊利诺伊理工学院的毕业演讲

人物介绍

这家举步维艰的互联网巨头聘请了谷歌(Google)第20号员工梅耶尔(Marissa Mayer)担任新首席执行长。梅耶尔是谷歌首位女工程师，1999年开始效力谷歌，过去两年负责谷歌消费者业务部门的工作，包括谷歌地图(Google Maps)和餐厅点评平台Zagat等。在消费者登陆谷歌后会看到什么这方面，梅耶尔扮演着关键角色，包括定期重新设计谷歌名称样式的新Doodle计划。

梅耶尔也频繁在媒体露面，常会讲到谷歌的方案举措以及硅谷女性等更广泛的话题。与在雅虎任职不长时间的前CEO汤普森(Scott Thompson)和临时CEO列文森(Ross Levinsohn)相比，梅耶尔是个不一样的形象。汤普森辞职后，列文森一直担任雅虎临时CEO，但雅虎在宣布梅耶尔的任命消息时甚至都没有提到列文森。
