Yahoo! has clearly established itself as the go-to destination for big events and breaking news, and we are focused on providing the best digital canvas for the world's greatest storytellers to create, develop and showcase their visions.

When I came to Yahoo! in 2012, I came because I really wanted to work hard. I thought it was a great challenge.

Yahoo! is committed to building the richest set of premium and personalized content experiences for our users.

Our mission is making the world's daily habits inspiring and entertaining. Which people come to work at Yahoo to build on that mission? Those who are inspired by that, and you can feel that passion in the products.

The thing that surprised me and really puzzled me is that the job is really fun. Yahoo is a really fun place to work.

Yahoo to me, as the founder of a company, is one of the biggest opportunities you could have; it's one of those classic Internet companies.

When I began working in Yahoo, my family moved with me. Despite our efforts, our kids wanted to study in Los Angeles, and I was forced to see my family and friends only on weekends. In the beginning I even enjoyed it, but knew that at some stage I'd want to go back home.

The time has come for me to pursue other interests outside of Yahoo.

I'm very grateful and proud of the progress Yahoo! has made over the past year. When I took the position as chairman, I told the board that my intention was to serve for one year in order to help Yahoo! during a critical time of transformation.

I love sharing my stories and experiences with people and connecting to them on both a humorous and emotional level.
