Yahoo's board of directors announced in July this year that Mayer would be the CEO of the company, when she was pregnant for six months. In an interview with Fortune magazine on her first day as CEO of Yahoo, Meyer said that none of Yahoo's board members expressed concern about hiring a pregnant CEO. "This shows that they are all very open-minded." At the same time, she said that she did not intend to take full maternity leave.
At the CEO level, the proportion of women is very low. Mayer announced her pregnancy on the day she was appointed as CEO of Yahoo, which aroused widespread concern inside and outside the industry.
