2016届高考英语阅读理解考前突破：财经资讯雅虎首席运营官意外离职

雅虎首席运营官意外离职

Yahoo's chief operating officer has unexpectedly departed the company just over a year.

雅虎首席运营官出人意料地从该公司离职，他在职仅一年多时间。

Henrique de Castro, Yahoo's second most senior executive, is leaving this week. No reason was given.

His departure deals a blow to the firm's efforts to revive flagging sales and internet traffic in the face of increased competition from rival sites.

It may also be an expensive loss for chief executive Marissa Mayer.

Mr Castro is one of Silicon Valley's most highly-paid executives and may receive a multi-million-dollar severance package.

According to reports, there were tensions between Mr Castro and Ms Mayer, who had poached him from Google shortly after she took over at the company.

Mr Castro's main role was to act as Yahoo's top sales executive and build relationships with key advertising clients.

However, the company has failed to significantly increase advertising revenues for its website and mobile applications.

Display-advertising revenue, which accounts for about 40% of the company's sales, fell 7% to $421m from a year ago in the third quarter.

Yahoo also lowered its profit outlook for fiscal 2016 during its last earnings release in October.

Yahoo shares fell 0.6% in extended US trading on Wednesday.
