Mayer also said that the other two regrets she had as Yahoo’s CEO was hiring Henrique de Castro as the chief operating officer instead of Lisa Utzschneider and not making “the tax-free Alibaba spinoff to separate the assets of the company.”
“If we had done that, it would have saved $10 billion for our shareholders or made them that money, whichever way you look at it, in taxes that were paid,” she added. “And two, it would have allowed Yahoo to continue as an independent company, and it would have potentially had more success.”
