According to the Wall Street Journal, former Autodesk CEO Carol Bartz is to become the next Yahoo! boss.
At sixty years old, Bartz is no spring chicken, however the experience is clearly there. She still serves as executive chairman of Autodesk, a company she had been with over 14 years. Pro she was with Sun Microsystems.
Bartz currently sits on Cisco Systems’ board with Jerry Yang and on Intel’s board with Yahoo! president Susan Decker, who was passed over for the Yahoo! CEO role.
The news of the possible replacement has had a dramatic impact on share price, dropping by more than 2 percent.

The stupid thing is that my first reaction to this article is: Wow, is she 60 years old… she looks a lot younger
I’m sure Yahoo will have her looking her age in no time…
Her profile is outstanding. She is very much qualified for the position although she may not have a background of media and internet services. Yahoo may be in the right hands..
this is very interesting to know the things that have some past history just like yahoo ceo. the people who are in touch with such work they can start training as ccda are available for technical persons.
me too
In TC there is the same kind of comments. i guess she knew some good beauty clinics and her PR guys tak some good fotographer (with photoshop skills) :)
