Rebuilding Yahoo for the AI era with Jim Lanzone, CEO of Yahoo
Welcome to the new episode of the TNW Podcast, the show where we discuss the latest developments in the technology ecosystem and feature interviews with some of the most influential people in the industry.
In today's episode, we're happy to present an interview with Jim Lanzone, CEO of Yahoo, who joined the company in 2021 to lead its turnaround after the Apollo acquisition. Jim, who previously ran Ask Jeeves, CBS Interactive, and Tinder, explains why Yahoo is now past that phase and into its comeback, with 700M users a month and its biggest growth coming from Gen Z and Millennials.
We dig into Yahoo Scout, the company's new AI answer engine, and why Jim wants to restore the social contract of search by sending traffic back to the publishers that the first generation of AI answer engines left behind. Jim also shares his playbook for turning around big internet brands, the revenue model Yahoo had to reinvent, and his advice for anyone in their twenties who wants to build in tech.
