If not Scott Thompson, then who? A short list for Yahoo CEO change (photos)
Pressure mounts on Yahoo's board after CEO Scott Thompson was found to have fudged his resume. We look some possible replacement execs.
Yahoo soon to search out new CEO?
The investor group, New York-based Third Point, on May 4 sent a stern letter to Yahoo's board demanding that it dump Thompson by noon on May 7. That deadline has come and gone, and so far Yahoo's board has merely formed a "special committee" to review Thompson's academic credentials. But if the board does get around to making a more drastic move, it's not slim pickings out there when it comes to possible replacements. So let the speculation start.
