Meg Whitman

Meg Whitman is the President and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprises, but she was previously the CEO of eBay (Forbes 2015). At eBay, she took the company from $5 million to $8 billion in annual revenues. She was born in Cold Springs Harbor, New York on August 4, 1956. She received her Bachelors from Princeton and her MBA from Harvard, dispelling any myths about dumb blondes. From hardware and software at HP to websites at eBay, this stunning computer nerd has made her mark in the Information Technologies field. She is #10 on Forbes List of America’s Self-Made Women (2015). Not only is she involved in Information Technologies, but she also made a run (albeit failed) for Governor of California in 2010.
