Sue Decker Speaks!

I'm not going to lie: It was a long day at Yahoo today. Some 16 hours long, not counting my commute from SF to Sunnyvale, back to SF, back to Sunnyvale, and one day-- I hope!!-- back to SF. But we emerged with the exclusive interview of Yahoo president Sue Decker. I was actually pretty impressed with how she handled things. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Yahoo has generally been a champ about our using one of their biggest assets (Yahoo Finance) to dissect their job performance. If you watch our coverage it's been as tough as anyone's and we all still have jobs. (Knock wood, of course.)

I agree with John...btw, she needs lipstick! Perhaps MAC viva glam would go better with cliched comments!

look: i think john has a point, but i look pretty tired and ragged in that clip too! it was a long day for all of us. i guess i know how media trained someone has to be in that situation, so i was expecting the worst and thought a few of her answers were pretty revealing. ah well.

To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
