Yahoo President Decker Is Leaving

By Digital Trends Staff Published October 25, 2009

Yahoo has a new chief executive as Carol Bartz replaces Jerry Yang, but it’s now looking for a new president. In the wake of the appointment, Sue Decker announced she’d be resigning from the post as soon as a replacement can be found.

Decker, who served as president under Yang and his predecessor Terry Semel, was believed to be a candidate for the chief executive post at one point, according to Vnunet. However, her loyalty to her boss might have cost her that chance in the wake of the Microsoft acquisition fiasco.

Yahoo chairman Ray Bostock said:

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.
