It's interesting to me that Scott Thompson was kicked out for not having a degree (or rather, lying about having a CS degree that he didn't have) -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Thompson_(businessman) - this happened in the Sillicon Valley we know, with Zuckerbergs and Gates. Seems incredibly strange.
Before being CEO at Yahoo, he was working as CTO at eBay/Paypal, which would indicate to me he is more than competent enough. I wonder if he might have been more successful than Mayer if he had been at the helm longer -- he does seem to have history of success in leadership positions.
