Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
I would argue that the AOL acquisition is yet to work itself out as Yahoo (one of the last "independents) was gobbled up. One also needs to remember that Verizon is dealing with an increasingly mature market which is also an additional challenge.

It created a lot of animosity which goes contrary to what the free spirit of Silicon Valley. I would say she'd do just fine--with her fortune she can launch a hedge fund on her own.--and she won't leave exactly penniless.

@mpouraryan her husband is worth $300 million. The family need not change its lifestyle even if she does lose her position.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
@mpouraryan, no doubt they have their work cut out for them. AOL considers the acquisition a success, but they may just be grateful!
I believe that if anyone can now market Yahoo, it will be Verizon - so we will see what their preparation/market savvy has enabled them to do.

@Ariella, I think she will do just fine financially, as you point out. She certainly will be able to fund child care!
I frankly don't think she has been an effective leader. I think she was in over her head - she is lucky to come out this well financially. And I agree, I don't see them retaining her long term - I don't think she is that valuable to them.

..and she herself I believe is worth about 400 Mil as a result of her "google" odyssey...they'll be just fine--at that level, it is not about the money anymore. :)

Yes Indeed--and for sure it was not for HuffPOst--but the advertising Technology--I'd be curious to see what the results are...but so far they're holding their own Stockwise, though as noted by bigcharts today:
