Marissa Mayhem is not lookin good in the IT press.
Seems she butted heads w/ Yahoo's prestigious design chief & senior VP, Tim Parsey, who left the co. after only 2 yrs. Abt 6 mos after he left, the email collapse started. == http://on.barrons.com/1lUVMn6 March 20, ’14. . “Or maybe the markets have it right and Yahoo's business is hopeless," wrote Bloomberg Website’s Matthew Klein. ' valuing the company's flagship U.S.-based Web portal business as literally worth "less than nothing." ' . "This doesn't exactly reflect well on [Yahoo CEO Marissa] Mayer and her turnaround strategy," writes Klein. ' xxx http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/19/techno...=true&_r=0 . In a similar vein, Brian Wieser, senior analyst at Pivotal Research in New York, said: . “It’s sad but you can pretty much forget about Yahoo’s core [business,] I’m afraid it has no future.†== http://allthingsd.com/20130523/draw-some...to-depart/ May 2013. . Tim Parsey, Yahoo’s design boss, leaves the company; he was hired in early 2011. . As Senior VP of User Experience Design at Yahoo, “he was part of a range of redesigns of its major properties, including its homepage, Flickr photo-sharing site, email and more.†. He has major cred in IT design having run Apple’s design studio for 5 yrs, worked in Microsoft’s entertainment & devices div, and was at Motorola. . “It’s not clear why he’s leaving…but amid a lot of Yahoo turmoil since he arrived, Parsey certainly stabilized the design culture.†. “Also in play according to numerous sources, Yahoo’s new CEO Marissa Mayer has a very ‘hands-on’ style with regard to design. . “— she pretty much considers herself the last and only stop on that train, among others, based on her experience at Google running a number of products… . “No surprise, then, she has involved herself strongly in the design process.†== |
