Will Marissa Mayer Go the Way of Carly Fiorina?



This Bloomberg two-minute bit about Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo!, reminds me of Carly Fiorina, who took HP by storm as CEO and a few years later was unceremoniously let go.  They both grab primary attention for their companies, they're both high-powered and smart, and they're undeniably attractive women.

But will Mayer eventually go the way of Fiorina?

To me, she seems a bit more demure than her predecessor.  Yet, she doesn't seem to go out of her way to diminish attention to herself and, alternatively, offer more forthright credit to what her team is doing.  Indeed the questions about tangible results are also crucial ones, and I've been hearing them more in recent months than before.

Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
