She has no CEO or turnaround experience. She did sit on Google\u2019s operating committee and is on the board of Wal-Mart.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s speculated that the Third Point contingent on Yahoo\u2019s board, who got there recently by way of a threatened proxy fight, were instrumental in recruiting her.
