Na frase “AOL chief executive Tim Armstrong is ready to build a new empire, while Yahoo boss Marissa Mayer is leaving her behind.” o problema está no uso de her. Aqui o substantivo empire não aparece depois do pronome, logo não se pode usar o adjetivo possessivo que exige um substantivo.
Quando o substantivo é omitido porque já foi mencionado, devemos empregar o pronome possessivo que substitui o nome: hers. A forma correta é is leaving hers behind, ou mantê-lo com o substantivo: is leaving her empire behind.
Regra prática: her + substantivo; hers sozinho, substituindo o substantivo previamente mencionado. Exemplos: This is her book. / This book is hers.
