影响全球商界的十大女性

5. Andrea Jung

　　钟彬娴

　　Chairman and CEO of Avon Products

　　Andrea Jung went from being a lackluster student to attending the Ivy League's Princeton University, and went on to become the CEO of Avon Products. Institutional Investor wrote of Jung, 'How many other chief executives embody their companies the way Andrea Jung does? Sleek, stylishly turned out, with signature pearl choker and mane of sable hair, she is confident and assertive, the perfect image for her newly invigorated Avon Products. Jung is the first female CEO at a cosmetics company who wasn't also its founder.' Jung took the failing company out of the depths of marketing oblivion into a world of young, hip makeup products. She enables millions of women worldwide to work for themselves. Headcount rose 200,000 in the U.S. alone during the first quarter, thanks to the biggest recruiting drive in Avon's history. Jung sits on the GE and Apple boards.

　　钟彬娴曾经是一名差生，但后来考入常春藤名校普林斯顿大学，又成为了雅芳的首席执行官。《机构投资者》杂志曾经这样描述她：“有多少高管能像钟彬娴那样，将自己公司的特点体现得淋漓尽致？总是以优雅、时尚的形象示人，胸前的珍珠项链和一头乌黑的秀发都是她标志性的装扮，自信而果断，完美地体现了获得新生的雅芳。在所有化妆品公司，钟彬娴是首位非创始人但担任首席执行官的女性。”钟彬娴带领这家衰败的公司从几近被人忘却的境地走出来，进军年轻时尚的化妆品市场。她让全世界数以百万的女性为自己而工作。今年一季度，在雅芳历史上最大规模的招聘之后，仅美国的员工人数就增加了20万。钟彬娴还是通用电气和苹果公司的董事。

　　6. Oprah Winfrey

　　奥普拉·温弗莉

　　Chairman of Harpo

　　Credited with creating a more intimate confessional form of media communication, she is thought to have popularized and revolutionized the tabloid talk show genre, which a Yale study claims broke 20th century taboos and allowed LGBT people to enter the mainstream. By the mid 1990s she had reinvented her show with a focus on literature, self-improvement, and spirituality. Though criticized for unleashing confession culture and promoting controversial self-help fads, she is generally admired for overcoming adversity to become a benefactor to others. She has been ranked the richest African American, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and was once the world's only black billionaire. She's still got the magic touch: When Oprah praised the Kindle, it sold out before Christmas. She's on track to launch OWN, her cable network, to 70 million viewers next year.

　　人们认为她创造了一种更加亲密而直白的媒体传播方式，改造了低俗的脱口秀节目，并使其更加流行。耶鲁大学的一项研究称，这打破了20世纪的禁忌，让同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者进入了主流社会。到上世纪90年代中期，她改造节目风格，转而关注文学、自我提升和精神等话题。虽然有人批评她导致忏悔之风盛行，助长了有争议的自救热，但是她还是因为克服逆境帮助他人而受到普遍的尊敬。她是美国最富有的黑人女性、美国历史上最慷慨的黑人慈善家，还曾经是世界上唯一一名黑皮肤的亿万富翁。她现在魅力不减：Kindle受到奥普拉的称赞后，在圣诞节前就已售罄。她正在筹建自己的有线电视网络OWN，明年向7000万观众推出。

　　7. Ellen Kullman

　　柯爱伦

　　CEO of DuPont

　　Kullman studied mechanical engineering at Tufts University where she received her bachelor's degree in 1978. In 1983 she received a master's degree in management from Northwestern University. She began her business career at General Electric and joined DuPont in 1988 as marketing manager in the company's medical imaging business. In her previous role as executive vice president she was responsible for four of DuPont's business platforms as well as leading the company's growth in markets outside the USA. Kullman took the top job in January, making her the first woman to lead the company in its 206 year history. She's reshuffling execs and aiming to trim $1 billion in costs this year.

　　柯爱伦在塔夫茨大学学习机械工程，于1978年获得学士学位。1983年，她获得西北大学管理学硕士学位。她的职业生涯从通用电气开始，并于1988年加入杜邦，担任公司医疗成像部门经理。在担任杜邦执行副总裁期间，她负责四个部门，并带领公司在美国以外的市场实现了增长。柯爱伦于1月担任首席执行官，成为杜邦206年历史当中首位出任该职位的女性。她正在对管理层进行重组，希望今年能削减10亿美元的开支。
