Papa Ces

Your first impression might be, "Not much!"

I also thought the same but perhaps it is a sign that she is confident that she can overhaul Yahoo! and bring it back to the top, more particularly its stock price. Otherwise, why would a veteran technology CEO accept such a meager pay?

It is indeed small compared to other CEOs. 

I love Yahoo! and I practically grew up with it (in internet years). When I first started learning about the World Wide Web and the internet, I thought WWW and the internet ARE Yahoo!

Being a Yahoo! fan and user of its great services, I truly and deeply wish Ms. Bartz the best of luck.
