Yahoo, It's aBoy!

Yesterday the Yahoo! board announced 37 year-old Marissa Mayer asits new CEO. Mayer was a longtime Google executive and wasresponsible for the design of Google's search engine. What is moreinteresting (and important) about her selection is that she ispregnant with her first child, a boy. We have commented a number oftimes that the corporate landscape is shockingly devoid of women inthe top spot. In fact, the ranks of female chief executives are sothin that only 35 Fortune 1000 companies have women at the helm.There are numerous, deeply rooted biases that women have to dealwith in corporate America, but motherhood is often at the top ofthe list, especially for relatively young female executives who areof child-bearing age. It is for this reason that I applaud theYahoo! board, as Mayer's pregnancy was apparently "not part of theconsideration" for her selection. The board made the decision basedon her experience and abilities, as it should. Yahoo!
