After nearly five rocky years as CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer will be leaving her post with something of a tarnished image.
As Yahoo continued to struggle under her tenure, so did Mayer’s reputation as someone who could run a top-tier company. And that is likely to affect the jobs she’ll look at taking on next.
“I think she’ll end up on the boards of directors of several companies, but probably will not receive an offer to head up a top company anytime soon,” said Dan Olds, an analyst with OrionX. “Her tenure at Yahoo has tarnished her brand, and it will need to be rehabilitated a bit before she gets another shot at the top slot in another tech firm.”
