Wanted, one magical exec to work miracles against increasingly troublesome dragons. Ability to sparkle a plus.

According to sources close to the situation, Yahoo has hired Heidrick & Struggles for its CEO search.
I am, naturally, waiting by the phone for the call.

While the Yahoo board has yet to begin a search, I have already been hard at work on selecting the next CEO.

According to an internal memo from Juniper Networks, which you can see below, one of its top tech execs, David Yen, is departing immediately.
Sources said Yen is headed to Cisco to run its servers business.
The impetus for Yen’s departure might have been formation of the Platform Systems Group, run by Stefan Dyckerhoff, which is prominently mentioned in the memo from Juniper CEO Kevin Johnson and after the jump.

One of the results of Yahoo’s weak earnings report earlier this week has been the renewal of chatter about possible changes in its leadership and even ownership.
And continued investor discomfort with its troubled stock price and the level of renewed grumbling by major institutional shareholders is causing some key players to go back to their PowerPoints to reevaluate various options.

Make no mistake–there are no definitive offers on the table to do a variety of takeover deals of Yahoo by either private equity moneybags or from big media giants such as News Corp. or smaller Web firms such as AOL.
But that does not mean that major players are not circling Yahoo and assessing the situation aggressively, a fact reflected in the rise in the Internet giant’s stock price today based on the many rumors swirling around it.
Yahoo shares were up almost six percent to close at $15.25, a high of late. The stock is up to $16.20 in after-hours trading.

Today, as news of the departure of Yahoo’s U.S. head Hilary Schneider and two other top execs got around Wall Street, investors and dealmakers were actually thinking of things other than executive turmoil.
As in: Does the uncertainty, along with a naggingly lackluster stock price and weak growth, create pressure on its CEO Carol Bartz and its board to do something dramatic?
In addition, does the messy public situation even provide an opportunity to put Yahoo into play, despite its market cap of $19 billion?
