LegalZoom Adds Former Yahoo President Decker To Board

Los Angeles-based LegalZoom.com, the provider of online legal documents, said today that it has added Susan L. Decker, the former President of Yahoo!, to the firm's board of directors. Decker was president of Yahoo from 2007 to 2009, and served as CFO of Yahoo from 2000 to 2007. Decker also has served at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, and currently sits on the boards of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Intel Corporation and Costco Wholesale Corporation. Brian Liu, co-founder and Chairman of LegalZoom, said the addition of Decker will help the firm through its next stage of growth. The move might be an indication of things to come: LegalZoom has been widely rumored in the Los Angeles technology community to be prepping for an IPO offering, although the firm has not announced any plans for such a move.
