Jerry’s Kids
I was back in the Bay Area from London for all of 30 minutes when I heard the news that Jerry Yang is taking over as CEO of Yahoo!. I think this is great news. I’m not trying to take anything away from Terry Semel, I think he’s a fine CEO. But I love that one of the co-founders is taking the wheel. I spent the weekend hanging around Filo at the London Hack Day and it was incredible. Such a down to earth guy who appreciates hard work and innovative thinking. Jerry will bring that to the CEO position and that really excites me.
Congratulations to Jerry and, more importantly, congratulations to Yahoo!.
