Given the soap opera that is Yahoo, it was only natural to expect something dramatic as recently-installed CEO Marissa Mayer gathered the rank and file to outline her plans to put the company back on the growth path. But given the drips and drabs leaking out from the all-hands confab, file this one under the header "promises, promises."
Until now, Mayer's biggest mark has been on the touchy-freely side with an eye toward making Yahoo "the absolute best place to work" as per an e-mail to employees. What investors and other folks with an interest in Yahoo were hoping to hear were details from Mayer, who was appointed CEO in July in the hope that she could sprinkle some of that same fairy dust that she may have pocketed before leaving Google.
The most specific Yahoo news today had to do with the departure of Chief Financial Officer Tim Morse, a holdover from the previous regime. Replacing him will be Ken Goldman, a veteran exec who has worked at Oracle, Siebel Systems, and Excite, and whose most recent CFO stint was at Fortinet. The changes take place next month.
