Yahoo nabs top Google executive for CEO. Marissa Mayer was the first female engineer hired by Google, and she spent 11 years perfecting Google’s Web search (still the dominant search engine) and became its most recognizable public face. The clean look of the search engine was credited to Ms. Mayer’s sense of aesthetics. At Yahoo, Mayer will be in charge of giving life to the struggling company and increasing advertising revenue. She will be the fifth CEO for Yahoo in five years. On top of that...SHE'S WITH CHILD!!! Congrats all around
