Where is the Feminine CEO?

Various all girls schools are opening up in USA. Parents seek these schools to help their teenage girls learn that they can be good at chess, and football, and just as good as men at stuff that men do.

Indra Nooyi, CEO of Pepsi, legend goes, found that baseball was her glass ceiling in the male dominated board room. She studied, memorized, and mastered sports trivia in her spare time. She may not be a baseball fan, but would talk baseball with authority.

I am tired of stories of women who did things that they did not enjoy to succeed in a man's world. I look for that role model CEO who loves to cook or dance in her spare time. I look for that role model CEO who will display these passions with the same pride that Larry Ellison displays his yacht. I look for the role model CEOs in this article.

Who is your role model?

It is such a coincidence that I saw this post y'day and i was at OWL today where they were asking us to be gender agnostic. Cars, cricket, politics, gender agnostic? really?
