Yahoo Small Business will spin off, a test for new leader Akhtar (May 16, 2015) SF Gate: "As head of Yahoo Small Business, Akhtar oversees all software services that Yahoo provides to more than a million small businesses around the country — things like e-mail hosting, online sales tools and Web domains. The $50 million division is just a fraction of the Sunnyvale tech giant's business, but by the end of the year, Akhtar will help lead the transition of Yahoo Small Business into a separate company. This involves, among other things, hiring engineers, creating products and rebranding a division of Yahoo, which is struggling to turn its 20-year-old business into a mobile-focused company. To top it all off, his new company doesn't even have a name, and he doesn't yet have a title."
