Meet the team: Allison

Get to know the team behind the Yahoo Search products and partnerships.

Name: Allison Ruggirello 

Team: Global Partnerships 

Based in: Los Angeles, California 

Time at Yahoo: 2 months! While very new to Yahoo, I’ve spent over 7 years in the search industry, and love every minute of it! 

What I do at Yahoo: As a Partner Manager, I collaborate with search partners who play a crucial role in directing traffic to the Yahoo search platform. My goal is to uncover new, mutually beneficial, and innovative opportunities for both Yahoo and my partners in the space. 

What I love about Search: Search is usually the first frontier to direct response queries. It is the first place you go as a consumer to find what you are looking for- even if you don’t know exactly what that is just yet. In my mind it is the ultimate problem solver! 

When I’m not working you can find me____: In vinyasa yoga classes, rallying on the tennis court, skiing with friends, or strolling along the beach with my boyfriend and our lively 8-month-old Australian Labradoodle puppy, Taro. 

Favorite Yahoo product (past or present): TechCrunch! Even before working at Yahoo, TechCrunch was a staple in my daily news and media consumption. It keeps me up to date with everything exciting and new in the tech industry. 

When I’m working, I’m listening to: Right now I’m listening to a mix of indie-pop, rock and electro-pop music. Think Goth Babe, Alt-J, Jungle and The xx. 

Work motto: When in doubt, collaborate!
