埃爾森?漢斯

所在公司：太陽石油公司（Sunoco）

職務：首席執行官

公司500強排名：252

????據埃爾森?漢斯的母校萊斯大學（Rice University）透露，大學時代的她無所不能：她加入了學校第一支校際籃球隊，參加過游行樂隊，干過學生會還當過校報的體育欄目編輯。這一切可能為她今后的事業打下了良好的基礎。

????1978年，埃爾森?漢斯從萊斯大學畢業后又在哈佛商學院（Harvard Business School）拿到了工商管理碩士學位，隨后就職于能源巨頭殼牌公司（Shell）。就在通往公司高層的通行證向她招手的時候，厄爾森漢斯意識到，要想繼續留在公司，她和丈夫就得去歐洲工作。

????那時，總部位于費城的太陽石油公司向她拋出了首席執行官這一橄欖枝，這也使她成為了第一位統領石油巨頭的女掌門。“這個職位對我來說再合適不過了”，2008年她曾對萊斯雜志（Rice Magazine）透露。“因為我在石油下游產業——石油及化工產品行業——已經打拼了28個年頭，而這正是太陽石油公司的領域。”

Lynn L. Elsenhans

Company: Sunoco

Position: CEO

Global 500 Rank: 252

????According to Lynn Elsenhans' alma mater, Rice University, she did it all as a student: she was on the school's first women's intercollegiate basketball team, in the marching band, served on student government, and was the sports editor for the student newspaper. A case of foreshadowing, perhaps.

????After graduating from Rice in 1978, Elsenhans headed to Harvard Business School, earned her MBA, and ended up at energy giant Shell. As the keys to the corporate kingdom came within her reach, Elsenhans realized that she and her husband would have to move to Europe if she wanted to stay at the company.

????Around that time, Philadelphia-based Sunoco offered Elsenhans the CEO spot, making her the first female to run the oil giant. "It's a really good fit for me," she told Rice Magazine in 2008. "I worked for 28 years in the downstream part of the oil business -- oil and chemical products -- and that's what Sunoco does."
