The first woman Google, an engineer, Marissa Mayer, has made a career out of bucking expectations - and she did it again on Monday, saying it would leave Google as the new CEO Yahoo, struggling company that was once the chief rival Google.

World of technology interact with current news. But it may be time are all used to the fact that Meyer, who was the twentieth officer to Google, and is credited with the success of many of its most famous product, not the person who does only what people expect her to do.

"There is a stereotype of a hacker - pasty skin guy with thick glasses, pocket protector, blue glow coming off the monitor ... people think if they are going to be good at it, this is what they should be," Mayer told CNN, in interview earlier this year.

"You can be a good technology and, as a fashion and art. You can be a good technology and be an athlete. You can be a good technology and being a mom. You can do this by the way, on your terms."

Meyer, who is sometimes called "Googirl", of course, charted its course, often weaving seemingly different worlds and interests with each other.

Growing up in Wausau, Wisconsin, 37-year-old joined Google in 1999, when she was a young start-up, and not the Internet titan. She danced in "The Nutcracker" at Stanford University and received a degree in Computer Science. She professes a love for cupcakes - but, according to interviews with other organizations, the news, after creating a table to determine the ideal recipe.

At Google, Meyer was responsible for overseeing the launch of one of the most iconic products, including Gmail, Google Maps and iGoogle.

But it was her keen aesthetic design, in particular, led to her success on Google, which she helped grow into one of the largest high-tech and Internet companies on the planet. The most enduring legacy of Mayer on Google search engine company may be the home page, with its minimalist feel, wide gaps and a bright blue, red, yellow and green. It is attributed to insist that the net available to view - which seems to reflect her style out of the office, too.

"An engineer at heart, it is also the fact that many of her colleagues are not in the early days of Google: a keen sense of style and design," New York Times wrote in a 2009 profile. "She adored bold blocks of color on a white background, as well as prints of Marimekko, which once hung in his childhood home .... Her San Francisco penthouse has a similar but more expensive, aesthetic. It is painted in neutral colors and decorated with with fanciful, multihued glass art of Dale Chihuly. "

Meyer, in an interview that people who come to her penthouse is sometimes confused, saying, "Does your apartment look like Google or Google to look your apartment"

Together with the executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Mayer was one of the most prominent public Google, people over the past ten years. Is a frequent speaker at conferences of technology, it has a dash of glamor to jeans and a hoodie, the world of technology, many young engineers.

As one of the relatively small number of women holding senior positions in technology - Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman, the other two - Meyer is often asked about what she thinks about the role of women in the area.

"I really think this is the wrong question," she told Newsweek / Daily Beast in an interview in May. "It's a question that hangs on our progress, and calls will be slow. Fact that we do not produce enough scientists computer, period."

Passion, she says, is what really matters. No sex.

"I'm not a woman to Google, I'm a geek at Google", she told CNN in April. "If you can find what you're really passionate about, whether man or woman comes into the game a lot less. Passion gender neutralizing force."

Meyer will need a lot of passion, if she wants to help right the ship at Yahoo, the company is struggling, he had not seen his last pass through the heads of the company in rapid succession.

Many people think that it was the right man for the job.

"Marissa Mayer is one of the few who has enough authority to ignore the public markets for some time and do what is best for long-term Yahoo," Chris Dixon, a well-known Silicon Valley investor, wrote on Twitter shortly after the news was announced .

Marc Andreessen, another well-known venture capitalist, is reported to have praised the move, saying the product would be Meier-minded CEO.

Forbes said that the work of Meyer puts Yahoo "in the management of the title of the most influential woman in technology."

And the blog ReadWriteWeb said that she is "just what Yahoo needs."

"This is a great step for Yahoo, which is braised in mediocrity for years," wrote Dan Frommer ReadWriteWeb. "Meyer, a big shot in the Silicon Valley and a perfectionist type of product executive, can legitimately make Yahoo a respectable again. At least, it will command attention."
