Is the Yahoo founder leaving?

There’s no denying that Jerry Yang is a man who makes things happen. They Yahoo co-founder built a multi-billion dollar internet empire from the ground up. The company has been attracting at least 1.575 billion users by 2008. Having built an iconic company, what next?

At a news conference to announce the ending of acquistion talks with Microsoft Yang stated; “clearly it is time to move on,”

Where to now? Yang will be in demand. Big demand. There are no doubt many companies ready to pay a hefty premium to bring him onboard. The hiring of Jerry Yang would no doubt boost the profile of any company which will almost certainly equate to a higher profile and increased revenue.

But does he want it? Yang really doesn’t have to work again. He’s estimated to be worth around $800 million.

Personally, I’d like to see him start again. There’s always room at the table.
