For Tim Parsey, Yahoo! is the coolest start-up in the valley because the company has world changing opportunities that he cannot get elsewhere. “Here is at scale, a transformation of an icon loved and trusted in the world. We are in the process of revitalizing that icon.” As an SVP of Design, Tim strongly believed Yahoo! can pioneer products that are rooted in the humanism of the culture, appeal to people in the deepest level and contribute to society the world hasn’t seen. “It’s about innovating for people’s values and connecting to the world as a whole." People is another important factor that amazed Tim. “Yahoo has a collection of people who really care about each other, which is the most important symptom of a culture healing and becoming a powerhouse we need to be in terms of innovation."
