Puzzler

Women have made a lot of progress, from politics to religion to business. Just in the past five years women have broken the glass ceiling.

* Jill Barad Matell (exCEO)

* Meg Whitman Ebay (CEO)

* Carly Fiorina HP (exCEO)

* Patricia Russo Lucent Technologies (CEO)

* Andrea Jung Avon (CEO)

* Linda Wachner Warnaco (exCEO)

* Indira Nooyi Pepsico (President & CFO)

These just some I remember. The number is still in a 1%-2% range but that’s a start.

Interestingly though I get the feeling these the deal is not really what its cut out to be. It just seems like when things go really wrong… corporations bring a turnaround CEO. Some how this turn around CEO is a woman.

Is this a case of a scapegoat?
