Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer is limiting her work from now on as she has just announced that she is expecting the arrival of not just one but two bundles of joy in time for the Christmas holiday season.
The Yahoo CEO revealed on Tuesday that she is expecting the arrival of her identical twins in December, and she noted that she is going to handle the situation just like how she did in 2012 when she gave birth to her son.
Mayer took to her blog to announce the good news that has come to her and husband of six years Zachary Bogue. And she also relayed the pregnancy news to Yahoo's board and executive team according to Sydney Morning Herald.
"Since my pregnancy has been healthy and uncomplicated and Since this is a unique time in Yahoo's transformation, I plan to approach the pregnancy and delivery as I did with my son three years ago, taking limited time away and working throughout," Marissa noted in her blog post.
The Yahoo CEO recognized that her pregnancy comes at a time when the company is prepping "to spin off its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd" and look into the many possibilities for Yahoo Japan Corp, according to Reuters.
Nevertheless, it is expected that her pregnancy with her twin girls will not slow things down since she has already said that she'll follow what she did when she gave birth to son Macallister Bogue.
In September 2013, the Yahoo CEO gave birth to her first child and she quickly returned to working with the company in the confines of her home. After two weeks, she returned to her office.
Though this may seem to be very commendable of her, there are sources claiming that this poses a debate on whether she is leading a good example to the women in the workplace in terms of how she deals with motherhood.
The former Google Inc executive is best known for Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr for $1.1 billion. Marissa Mayer also led the acquisition of the Sunnyvale-headquartered company of small but numerous start-up companies, as per TechCrunch.
