"Susan has a keen understanding of internet advertising, subscription models, and online communities. While at Yahoo!, she demonstrated her ability to quickly understand and address complex business issues and operating strategies. Susan has an intuitive sense of good web product design and user experience. She understands what it takes to build and grow a great web product. I especially appreciated Susan's energy and genuine passion for building strong consumer online products. Although she was very busy with her own work, she would not hesitate to provide input and feedback to her colleagues in other groups across the company. Susan is focused on doing the right thing for the customer."
