[My first priority is] to instill an approach that we can really try to listen to what the advertiser needs and deliver great ad products and great experiences for them so that they’re able to make great connections with Yahoo’s consumers.” Sheru says analytics is a critical piece of this approach, as she aims to use “80 percent data and 20 percent gut” when making business decisions.
