IBM Hires First Female CEO

On October 26, 2011, IBM announced that Virginia "Ginni" Rommetty would be taking over the role of CEO in January 2012 when the current CEO, Samuel J. Palmisano, retires.  This is a historical moment.  The two largest technology companies will be both headed by powerful women.  In September, amongst drama and mayhem, HP ousted CEO Leo Apotheker and replaced him with Ms. Meg Whitman. The tides are changing in business and industry for women!!  I am really glad that we now have two more women who have broken the glass ceiling on career advancement.  Way to go HP and IBM!  Also, to Ms. Rommetty and Ms. Whitman, my hats off to you!  That's what I call leading from the front!!!

Ms. Me
