Another important person will be
leaving Yahoo! Inc. at the end of this month. According to a statement coming
from the company itself, Cammie Dunaway, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer,
is ready to leave the famous Internet company.
Cammie Dunaway will be only the
latest executive to leave Yahoo! Inc., which is currently in transition. "Since
joining Yahoo in 2003, Cammie has built an award-winning direct-marketing team,
improved the company's customer insights and found creative ways to improve our
brand.” – the Yahoo! Inc. statement has said, adding also that: "Cammie
has strengthened the marketing function and built a strong bench of creative
talent. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors and thank her for her
leadership, dedication and all that she has contributed to Yahoo."
Still, the reasons for the
executive have not been made public till now by the company. A gossip web site
has said that she will in fact take a new position that she has described as "a
natural fit for someone who loves driving profitable revenue for big,
well-loved consumer brands and can't pass up the opportunity to be the coolest
Mom in the universe."
However, no matter what her
reason has been to leave Yahoo! Inc., Cammie Dunaway is one of the toughest
marketing people of the world! She has a MBA from Harvard and she has been also
named by “Advertising Age” one of the 100 top marketers.
Cammie Dunaway is only the latest
departure from a series for Yahoo! Inc., which is currently reorganizing and
redefining its mission because of the latest disappointing financial reports. Struggling
to make a living on a market pressured by Google Inc.’s dominance, Yahoo! Inc.’s
live is quite a difficult one in the current period.
