I am still waiting for Silicon Valley TV show to pick up this vast subject of Myer's tenure at Yahoo into one of its episodes.

You think they are brave enough to touch the "inspirational female leader" topic? Theranos and HP would be enough alone...

It doesn't have to be about a female leader. It can be about a grand old company that has fallen on hard times and whose board ponies up big bux to attract a promising young CEO. Unfortunately the promising young CEO can't deliver a return to the glory days, so the second best is a carefully negotiated sale.

Since when Myer is an "inspirational" leader? Oh sarcasm.
