Dive Summary:
- After three and half years at Yahoo, Shashi Seth, Senior VP of Connections business unit, announced he is leaving the firm.
- Reasons for leaving are unclear, but Seth has voiced displeasure with the Marissa Mayer regime.
- Seth's departure follows closely the resignation of former Chief Information Security Office, Justin Somaini.
From the article:
"It certainly hasn't been a secret that Mayer has been trying to rebuild the senior positions in Yahoo while still keeping her finger on the pulse of product development. Both Seth and Somaini had ties to the recently redesigned Yahoo Mail product.
After security concerns and an increase of spam from hacked accounts last December, Seth was quoted regarding Yahoo's new new partnership with AVG for search and email. Mayer is said to be personally overseeing development of Yahoo's flagship free email service to restore its position back on top of free email services."
