THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON YAHOO CEO MARISSA MAYER, HERE IS A LIST OF EXECUTIVES WHO'VE LEFT THE COMPANY

TOP EXECUTIVES CONTINUE TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN HER STRATEGY

Marissa Mayer landed at Yahoo with much fanfare 4 years ago from Google but she still can't seem to grab a hold of the company's turnaround strategy which many are calling into question. One of the biggest jobs in being CEO is retaining talent.  This is also an area where Ms. Mayer is struggling. She has failed to retain top executives at the company who have been departing in droves caused by what is believed to be a lack of confidence in her Strategy. Many in the Valley believe the best thing she can do for Yahoo right now is to step down. We knew something was off when she personally worked on the company's not so new logo.

Here is a list of executives who've left Yahoo that were never reported according to Recode:

Bruno Fernando-Ruiz: The well-respected chief architect behind Yahoo’s personalization technology and Gemini advertising platform was a top-level engineer at the company. He left in April to co-found a driving app startup called Nexar.

Alex Stamos: Yahoo’s chief information security officer left in June for a job at Facebook, where he is chief security officer. Another well-regarded techie has left Yahoo’s security staff in a weakened state.

Ramses Martinez: Stamos was replaced by this exec, who left just two months later to go to Apple’s information security team. Sources said a number of key networking engineers have moved to Apple with him. Also much respected internally.

Jim Everingham: The VP of engineering for Yahoo’s important homepage and verticals, he left to run engineering at Facebook’s Instagram in August. He came to Yahoo in 2012 after it bought his company, photo ad network Luminate, which became the name of the small business unit that is a key element of its Alibaba spinoff.

Bernardo Herdandez: The former Googler came to Yahoo to join Mayer in reviving Flickr, as part of a series of much-touted hires from the search giant. He left in May for personal reasons (surf’s up!). 

Jon McCormack: At the end of last year, Mayer scored a coup in the hiring of the Amazon star to be in charge of all of Yahoo’s mobile engineers. He only stayed a few weeks.

Scott Burke: Yahoo’s SVP of advertising and data platforms left quietly in August after 10 years, after losing much of his portfolio to other execs. He is working on Helix, a new genetics startup.

Dawn Airey: The well-regarded media exec headed Europe and other international units for the company. She left this summer after two years at Yahoo, apparently exasperated by the lack of progress in its turnaround. She is now CEO of Getty Images.

Peter Foster: Despite a series of departures by top ad execs at Yahoo — Ned Brody, Lee Brown — Foster held on for a while. He left this summer and is now at a startup called Wrap Media, a “mobile-first storytelling and commerce platform.”

Keith Kaplan: Sources said that the head of global agency and client development at Yahoo has also headed out the door of late. The well-known ad exec outlasted Foster, but is not the last one to be considering leaving.
