With the departures of former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, former
Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Autodesk CEO Carol Bartz,
there has risen a new crop of accomplished female CEOs…
Fueling the growing ranks of C-level executives (CEO, chief operating
officer, chief information officer ) are more engineering and computer
science graduates. The number of female engineering graduates in 2005,
the last year for which statistics are available, was nearly 13,200, up
8% from 2000. The number of female computer-science college graduates
rose 7%, to 11,235, in the same time frame, according to the National
Science Foundation.
