Yahoo’s
Scott Thompson is the latest chief executive to come under fire for
fudging his résumé. Here’s a look at other CEOs and leaders who have
been caught up in résumé scandals.
Scott Thompson, shown at PayPal's
offices in San Jose when he was PayPal president, was named chief
executive of Yahoo in January 2012. Yahoo shareholder and New York
hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb questioned Thompson's qualifications and
integrity after exposing a misrepresentation about the executive’s
education. The fabrication was confirmed by Yahoo on May 3, 2012. The
résumé listed a computer science degree that Thompson never earned.
Thompson apologized to Yahoo employees four days later, saying that he
takes "full responsibility." On May 13, the company announced that
Thompson had stepped down.
