More importantly, so did sought-after startup CEOs like Tumblr founder David Karp, who agreed to sell his company to Yahoo for $1.1 billion. Most CEOs of Mayer’s stature — people running multibillion-dollar public companies the size of Yahoo — are gregarious, outgoing types. Baby-kissers. Back-slappers. Schmoozers. Mayer is not that type. Peers from every stage of her life say Mayer is a shy, socially awkward person. How in the world has she overcome such a disadvantage to rise so far, so fast?”
