According to Scott Galloway, Professor, Marketing, NYU Stern School of Business, Mayer’s (who he believes is an overpaid CEO) announcement that she is pregnant with twins saved her day at Yahoo.

“If she had not announced her pregnancy, she would be out of the job within six months,” Galloway said on Bloomberg Surveillance.

He added, “I don’t think any board in America right now in technology that’s as visible as Yahoo wants to be seen as leaning in… She got a reprieve from death row because she is pregnant with twins.”
