Politicois whispering that Meg Whitman might head up president-elect,Joe Biden’sCommerce Department.
The Princeton University and Harvard Business school grad has also served as CEO for Hewlett Packard and eBay.
Whitman is married to a neurosurgeon.
It’s not that we doubt her.
But honestly, it’s hard to immediately see the sacrifices that Whitman claims she’s had to make.
“From now on you don’t know me, and I don’t know you.
You have never seen me, and I have never seen you.
Do you understand me?,” Whitman allegedly told Diaz after she fired her.
Whitman denied the accusations.
Despite her subsequent defeat, Whitman insisted toBusiness Insiderthat she doesn’t regret getting into politics.
From the experience, Whitman says she learned that “the government is not like a business …
It’s multiple, multiple constituencies, and multiple key metrics for success …
It’s very different than being a CEO.”
For starters, she was part of the fourth class of women at Princeton University.
The formidable CEO owes her risk-taking attitude, in no large part, to her mother, Margaret.
Margaret worked for the Red Cross during World War II.
We need airplane mechanics and truck mechanics.
Which of you women would like to volunteer?'"
Margaret did, even though she had no mechanic experience.
While always formidable, Whitman’s mother changed after she took to China.
