If you are up for reading a fairly long article – this biography of Marissa Mayer is worth reading.

What I found most interesting about this article was how it exposed the inner workings of Silicon Valley – how its this exclusive club of tech guys and money guys. Also worth reading is the part that deals with Mayer’s first days at Yahoo and how she leads and changes Yahoo’s culture.
As I wrote in a previous post – I think Mayer will succeed at Yahoo – after reading this bio I am more confident that she was a good hire, and that she is the best option to try to lead this company forward.
Interesting article. She doesn’t sound like a person I would enjoy spending time with. I am sure she would feel the same about me.
