Yahoo!'s president Susan Decker is making her mark on the search engine giant through a major reorganisation of its management structure, the New York Times reports.Under the rearrangement, a new division will be created that will take responsibility for generating the majority of the company's revenue.
Yahoo!'s publisher network, corporate partnerships and HotJobs will merge with sales operations to create a global partner solutions division.
Also, as part of the reshuffle, Yahoo!'s top sales executive Gregory Coleman will depart the company, although he is set to remain there until February to ensure a smooth transition.
In an interview Hilary Schneider, Local Markets & Commerce Division and Yahoo! Publisher Network executive vice president, described the moves as a continuation of a process of reorganisation that began two months ago when the company merged the sales group responsible for graphic ads with that responsible for search ads.
Ms Schneider, who joined Yahoo! in September 2006, commented: "This integration is the logical next step."
As company president, Ms Decker has recently played a key role in determining the search engine's vision and strategy.
She is responsible for all of Yahoo!'s global business operations, including product marketing, sales and distribution.
Before joining the company she worked for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette for almost 14 years, serving the firm as an as an equity research analyst before, more recently, performing the role of global director of equity research.
