Yahoo CEO, Mayer gave birth to a healthy baby

confirmed the birth, telling MarketWatch that “both Marissa and baby are healthy and the family is very excited.”

Mayer will be “working remotely and is planning to return to the office as soon as possible, likely in one to two weeks,” according to Yahoo.

Mayer took over as the Web portal’s chief executive in July from rival Google Inc. (US:GOOG), where she oversaw such products as Google Maps and Google Earth. Yahoo has seen a few difficult years recently with major management and board changes, highlighted by the firing of former chief Carol Bartz and the sudden departure of ex-CEO Scott Thompson.

In August, the company’s stock took a hit after Yahoo disclosed that Mayer was reviewing the company’s strategy, including a plan to distribute proceeds from the sale of the company’s stake in Alibaba Group.
