can marissa find a north star? and what should it be? >> there's no doubt when you have six ceos in a period of -- i haven't really kept track -- maybe three years, it's hard to have consistency with a leadership team. hopefully we'll start to see that. i think what is interesting about marissa coming in is unlike some of the previous leaders dating back to terry st stemmel, she had much more of a product and application person. i think if you look at the great success stories on the internet, they almost all emanate from a product century. media tends to be more fleeting than the relationship to the consumer. and i think marissa, so far i would bet, will bet on the application layer as opposed to, hey, we're going to be a big media company. whether it's twitter or facebook, these are applications. >> there was a point when we were talking about being known for one thing. the media loves it, the jerry mcguire, get the manifesto. do you ever wish you could say, yeah, but i do other things, as well sfp. >> i think certainly all of us, as w

honestly, marissa has that. >> reporter: whether yahoo!emonstrates the same level of commitment to mayer remains to be seen. she is the company's seventh ceo in five years. >> what kind of timeline does she have to really turn things around? >> i think she has a year. i think if you don't see some momentum at yahoo! within a year, maybe only nine months, she's going to start to be seen as maybe not a failure, but not as good as we had hoped. >> and if she fails? >> if she fails, she'll probably still get a great job as a ceo somewhere else after this. she is headed for a long career as one of the leaders of technology. >> reporter: and the retiring levinson signals more on innovating its products as opposed to improving their media content. in addition, people like her. >> yeah, they really do. was the departure of levinson expected? most people would say it's time for me to go if i've been passed over twice. >> right. a lot of people said, of course, that's the natural way things go. they thought maybe marissa mayer could convince him to
