Yahoo is a global media and tech company that connects people to their passions. Its origins date back to 1995 as one of the pioneers of the early internet era. It is well known for its web portal, mail, finance, and sports verticals, and houses a series of other businesses including the legacy of AOL.

Our conversation covers the modern Yahoo, its recent corporate history, and Apollo’s carveout of the business from Verizon. We discuss the deal dynamic, ownership plan across growth opportunities of core assets and divestment of non-core assets, new management team, tuck-in acquisitions on the come, and growth drivers going forward.
