Blake Jorgensen joined Yahoo! as our chief financial officer in May. A month later, we had a change in management and our new executive team embarked on an exhaustive strategic review of our business.

Was this what the co-founder of Thomas Weisel Partners had signed up for? Find out in this exclusive interview (I have connections), where you’ll also learn about Blake’s love of caffeine, big challenges, steep snowy mountains, the smell of onions, Crackberries, merriment, and good old-fashioned hard work. Oh, and numbers.

Read on, friends…

Nicki,

Thanks for this interview!

I really enjoyed reading it and learning how much I have in common with Jake – this ranges to working in a fast food place as a teenager to time on Wall Street!

Thanks again.
