Baby girls… Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has followed a major business announcement with some big personal news. “A separation from our Alibaba stake, via the reverse spin, will provide more transparency into the value of Yahoo’s business”. Informed by our intimate familiarity with Yahoo’s unique circumstances, the Board remains committed to accomplishing the significant business purposes and shareholder benefits that can be realized by separating the Alibaba stake from the rest of Yahoo.

The news comes the day after Yahoo performed a u-turn on its plans to spin off its lucrative stake in Chinese giant Alibaba.
Yet, while many think that Mayer might lose her job in a matter of months, Yahoo company Chairman Maynard Webb said that the company’s board still has faith in their CEO.
