Yahoo New Organisation structure

Posted by Bena Roberts on Feb 27, 2009 1:23

Yahoo! has announced its new structure see (http://ycorpblog.com/).

But in short:

1. The new CEO (Carol Bartz) has stated that mobile is integral to Yahoo!

2. David Ko is new SVP Mobile
 
Who is David Ko?- From the PR
 
David has been with Yahoo! for nine years, most recently leading Yahoo!’s mobile business operations globally.  Prior to that, David served as the Managing Director for Yahoo! Mobile’s Asia Pacific business, where he was responsible for marketing, engineering, product development and exponentially growing the company’s partnerships in the region, and overseeing the deployment and distribution of our essential mobile-first services and advertising solutions. 
 
What we think?

Yahoo! needs some fresh blood at the top and a strong management as the products are very very good. Leveraging them  now is vital and should be the main priority.

    So does this reorg mean that Connected Life is no more?

    From a friend who was Yahoo! employee until recently, Connect Life under Marco Boerries was going absolutely nowhere.

    How much longer until Yahoo gets it’s feet wet in the Mobile barcode space?

    NeoMedia & Yahoo would make excellent strategic partners.
