羅睿蘭

????公司：IBM

????《財(cái)富》500強(qiáng)排名：20

????IBM以其長期愿景和長期雇員而著稱。羅睿蘭也不例外：從西北大學(xué)（Northwestern）畢業(yè)、獲得計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)學(xué)位和電力工程學(xué)學(xué)位后，她曾在通用汽車學(xué)院（General Motors Institute）工作過兩年（大學(xué)獎學(xué)金的條件之一），之后才于1981年加入IBM，成為一名系統(tǒng)工程師。羅睿蘭在工程領(lǐng)域的表現(xiàn)極為出色，而她在管理崗位上的晉升速度也非常迅速，她最為人津津樂道的是將IBM從一家技術(shù)公司轉(zhuǎn)變成一家范圍更廣泛的商業(yè)解決方案公司。她帶領(lǐng)IBM以35億美元的價(jià)格收購了普華永道（PricewaterhouseCoopers）的咨詢部門。不過，只要羅睿蘭仍在IBM，她就不會害怕對它進(jìn)行改革。實(shí)際上，她更擔(dān)心的是一成不變：“千萬不要對某些事物愛到無法放手的地步。每個(gè)人必須做出徹底改變，”在去年的《財(cái)富》雜志最具影響力商界女性峰會上，羅睿蘭曾經(jīng)這么說道。

Virginia (Ginni) Rometty

????Company: IBM

????Fortune 500 rank: 20

????IBM is a company known for long-term vision and long-term employees. Rometty is no exception: She came to Big Blue as a systems engineer in 1981 after graduating from Northwestern with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering at Northwestern and doing a two year stint at the General Motors Institute (a condition of her college scholarship). Though Rometty excelled at engineering, her rise to the managerial ranks was swift, and she is best known for her work transforming IBM from a technology company to a broader business solutions firm. She led IBM's skillful integration of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting, a $3.5 billion acquisition. But as long as Rometty has been at Big Blue, she's not afraid to change it. In fact she's afraid not to: "Never love something so much that you can't let go of it," she said at Fortune's Most Powerful Woman Summit last year. "And you have to reinvent."
