Is Arun Sarin the right Choice??

Who’s in the race to become the CEO of Yahoo after Jerry Yang. The one name which they are considering to fit into their working frame now is Arun Sarin.Yeah “Vodafone’s Arun Sarin”; who stood down as Vodafone chief executive in July.

However Mr Sarin is understood to be among a small number of potential candidates, with others believed to include former AOL boss Jonathan Miller.In recent weeks, Mr Miller has been linked to a partial bid for Yahoo!, something which activist investor Carl Icahn, who owns a 5.5pc stake in the company, has indicated he would oppose.

Yahoo’s President Sue Decker was also considered as the leading internal candidate to replace Mr.Yang. But now she is not being viewed as same by the board, because of her association with the company’s handling of its $33-a-share bid from Microsoft last year.

Presently, looking at the current scenario Arun Sarin may be the right person/candidate in that matter to take on the chair. Talking of Mr.Sarin aged 52, graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology with a BS in Engineering in 1975. In 1978 he gained a MS in Engineering and a MBA from the University of California, at Berkeley. In April 2003 he became CEO designate of Vodafone Group Plc and assumed the post of Chief Executive Officer on July 30th 2003. Prior to becoming Chief Executive Officer, Arun had been a Non-Executive Director of The Gap Inc, The Charles Schwab Corporation and Cisco Systems Inc.

Though everyone around is speculating that the name of the successor will be decided soon, but this soon is no sooner than January or even February because of the likely delays that will be caused by the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays. In addition, it will take time for the Yahoo’s 11 board members to come to consensus for this big decision.
