Jeffrey Mallett (born August 7, 1964) is a Canadian entrepreneur and investor. He is best known for building internet giant Yahoo!. Described as Yahoo's "wizard behind the curtains pulling all the levers,"[1] Mallett manages a portfolio of Internet, sports, entertainment and real estate investments in the United States, Canada, England, and China.

Early years

While living in Victoria, Mallett attended Arbutus Junior High School (Sept 1977 – June 1980) and Mount Douglas Secondary School (Sept 1980 – June 1982), graduating with the "Class of Gold". He was a standout athlete playing soccer with Gordon Head Soccer Association and baseball with Gordon Head Baseball Association.[citation needed] As a teenager, he played soccer at the University of Victoria. He went on to play for one year at San Francisco State University. Mallett attended and played varsity soccer at the University of Victoria, Santa Rosa Jr. College, and San Francisco State University.

Early career

At the age of 22, he was running sales, marketing and business development at his parents' telecommunications company, Island Pacific Telephone until it was acquired by telecommunications giant Cable and Wireless in 1987. He was an early employee of Reference Software, a company started by then San Francisco State University professor Don Emery. The company developed grammar-checking software and was bought by Word Perfect in 1992, where Mallett became head of the global consumer division.

Before the age of 30, Mallett was vice president and general manager of the consumer products division of Novell, Inc. and a member of Novell's global marketing board, where he was involved with the merger of Novell and WordPerfect Corporation in 1994.

Though Mallett has a history and experience in growing technology companies, his real love is sports.[1] Mallett has been involved in sports – especially soccer – all his life.

Mallett spent five years on Premier Gordon Campbell's British Columbia Progress Board. He was on the Premier's Progress Board from 2004–2007. The Board is an independent panel of up to 18 senior business executives and academic leaders, selected for their ability to contribute expertise on the province's economic progress and environmental and social condition.

By 2002, Mallett managed a workforce of 4,000 employees in 27 countries, with $1 billion in revenue, and had overseen more than 20 acquisitions for the company.[3] As president and chief operating officer for Yahoo Inc. from 1995–2002, Mallett helped drive growth and success for the company while simultaneously serving as an elected member of the Board of Directors.

On March 18, 2009, Major League Soccer (MLS) commissioner Don Garber announced that Vancouver would be the home of the 17th team in MLS.[8] The MLS team began play in 2011 at the temporary Empire Field, and then moved during that season to the newly renovated BC Place Stadium in the city's downtown entertainment district. The venue underwent approximately $458 million in improvements before the new team took to the field, and has a 20,000-seat soccer-specific configuration.[[9]] The 2009 Vancouver Whitecaps season went down as one of the most eventful campaigns in club history.

The inaugural season kicked off in March 2009 with seven WPS teams based in the Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey/New York, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.
