Judged. She is no longer listed on Yahoo's management page, but I was unable to determine what she is doing now, other than serving on the boards of several companies.

She's not listed on

She's not listed on management bio page. Judge early?

Something trustworthy like

Something trustworthy like bio page or news reports. Yahoo keeps the management page pretty up-to-date.

How exactly is this going to

How exactly is this going to be determined? Bio page on yahoo.com?

She's still listed as

Yi-Wyn Yen167771 — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:36:51 -0400

She's still listed as president on Yahoo management page.

According to

David Kuan — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:29:10 -0500

According to AllThingsDigital, Yahoo management is set to be revamped as early as this week. Looks like Ms. Decker's departure will be sooner rather than later.

Revolving Door of Ex-Yahoo

Edward Beckham — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:49:49 -0500

Revolving Door of Ex-Yahoo Execs Continues to Spin, a string of former Yahoo executives are landing important jobs at rival companies. Yahoo veteran Susan Decker, who is to be leaving the company after a "transitional period" is sure to be gone by the end of April.

In situations like this, it

David Kuan — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:59:53 -0500

In situations like this, it most likely to be sooner rather than later. So, a window of 3 months+ seems reasonable, IMHO.

Yahoo prez Sue Decker leaves by April 25, 2009?

kevin haynes — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:45:16 -0500

On the day Yahoo's board appointed Carol Bartz the new chief executive, Yahoo president Sue Decker announced she will resign after 8 1/2 years at the company. However, Decker remains with the tarnished Internet portal "for a transitional period."

As Bartz gets more comfortable with the purple-loving landscape, she'll likely push out the old guard and replace folks like Decker with her own team.

Prediction: Yahoo president Sue Decker leaves Yahoo by April 25, 2009.
