Who is Marissa Mayer?
Marissa
Mayer is the current President and CEO of Yahoo!. She placed 8th in the most
recent 2013 list of 50 Most Powerful Women in Fortune Magazine. Meyer was given
the position of CEO of Yahoo! in July of 2012. A few months later
she placed 14th in Fortune’s list of most powerful women.
Marissa Meyer originally was the vice
president of location and
local services at Google. Mayer joined Google in the year 1999 and happened to
be their 20th employee. To top it all off, she was the company’s
first female engineer. 13 years later, Marissa Meyer became the CEO of Yahoo! and
has used her experience from Google to help Yahoo! grow into a better company.
Her Leadership Style
Marissa Mayer uses an
Autocratic Leadership Style in her line of work. Although, it is said that she
has changed since the years she’s worked at Google. Back in her Google-y days,
Mayer used to be very tough on her subordinates and was stern with the way
things were done. But, as time went on she became mature in her leadership
style, although she still is an autocratic leader. Marissa Mayer is not afraid
to say what she believes is right.
