Say Hello to the Yahoo Board Members

in News on January 28, 2008 at 12:58 am PT

One of the most overlooked parts of Web companies are their board members, so I think it is time to start looking more carefully at those firms where the role of directors is going to be increasingly important in 2008. First stop, obviously, is Yahoo, which reports its fourth quarter and also full year earnings (and also perhaps some board-approved layoffs) tomorrow after the markets close. With everything from consistently persistent takeover rumors, a still-lagging stock price and continued scrutiny on its moves to revive itself, the company’s managers and–it must be assumed–its directors obviously face challenges in the year ahead.
