So the announcement was made that Hilary Schneider is joining Yahoo to be SVP for a new Marketplaces group that will include Autos, Classifieds, HotJobs, Personals, Real Estate, Shopping & Auctions, Travel and Yellow Pages. Hilary will be my boss's boss, and will report to CFO Sue Decker.
I am psyched by the news--Hilary did amazing things at Knight Ridder, and was a force for change at Red Herring, her previous company. Yahoo's getting a powerful, shrewd executive in Hilary--this is going to be an interesting ride.
