I'm not sure that's the analogy she would have used to wow the Board. Yahoo has a totally different audience that spends a lot of time on their site consuming content in a very different way than say Google or Bing. The opportunities for them to monetize them are very different but no less exciting. Yahoo has just struggled with a) determining which ones are strategic, b) enhancing those ones and c) creating a smoother experience between those. Sounds like a role for a very solid product manager to me.
