Despite Mayer, Yahoo leadership overwhelmingly male

Yahoo releases its first report on diversity and like other Silicon Alley companies shows it is overwhelmingly male, mostly white and Asian.
 Yahoo, one of the most prominent Silicon Valley companies with a female CEO, still has an overwhelmingly male work force and leadership.
The company released its first diversity report late Tuesday and it showed that 62% of its global work force is male. But many of the women are in the lower-paying non-technical and non-leadership positions. The company said 85% of its technology staff is male, as is 77% of its leadership.
 Marissa Mayer has been CEO of Yahoo (YAHOO, Tech30) for nearly two years, and she is the second woman to lead the company. Carol Bartz served as CEO for nearly three years before she was fired in September 2011. Yahoo also had a woman president, Sue Decker, for nearly two years before she left in 2009.
