\nThe Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo had hired Marissa Mayer in 2012 July. At that point of time the company had gone through a major upheaval in terms of management changes. The company needed someone with dynamism and a unique approach to turn it around. Since she joined Yahoo, Mayer has trained her energies and efforts on holding onto talented employees and recruiting new ones. She has launched new products and introduced new deals to bring about a change in the company\u2019s standing.<\/p>\n
\nYahoo has been facing tough competition from the big players such as Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (Closed: $820.43, Down by 0.50%) and Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) (Closed: $27.43, Down by 1.22%). The company finally seems to be taking a positive turn and it looks that it will eventually manage to gain a stronger footing in the unforgiving internet market space. Since Mayer assumed the CEO post in July 2012, the company stock has risen by 59 percent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
