　　5. Andrea Jung

　　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.

雅芳董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官：鐘彬嫻

　　5.鐘彬嫻

　　雅芳董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官

　　鐘彬嫻曾是一名不起眼的學生，但后來她考入常春藤名校普林斯頓大學，之后又成為了雅芳的首席執(zhí)行官。《金融機構(gòu)投資者》雜志曾經(jīng)這樣描述她有多少企業(yè)高管能像鐘彬嫻那樣，將自己公司的特點體現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致?總是以雅致、時尚的形象示人，配以胸前的珍珠項鏈和一頭烏黑的秀發(fā)的鮮明特征，自信而果斷，完美體現(xiàn)出了獲得新生的雅芳。在所有化妝品公司中，鐘彬嫻是首位“非創(chuàng)始人但擔任首席執(zhí)行官的女性”。鐘彬嫻帶領(lǐng)這家衰敗的公司走出了行銷困境，進軍到年輕時尚的化妝品市場。她讓全世界數(shù)以百萬的女性為自己而工作。今年一季度，在雅芳歷史上最大規(guī)模的招聘之后，僅美國的員工人數(shù)就增加了20萬。鐘彬嫻同時還是通用電氣和蘋果公司的董事。

　　6. Oprah Winfrey

　　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.

　　6.奧普拉·溫弗莉

　　哈普娛樂集團董事長

　　相信她已創(chuàng)造出了一種更加親密而直白的媒體傳播方式，她改造了低俗的脫口秀節(jié)目，并使其更加流行。耶魯大學的一項研究稱，這打破了20世紀的禁忌，讓同性戀、雙性戀和跨性別者進入了主流社會。到上個世紀傭年代中期，她改造節(jié)目風格，把焦點放在文學、自我提升和精神等話題上。雖然有人批評她導(dǎo)致懺悔之風盛行，助長了有爭議的自救熱，但她還是因自強不息、租極戰(zhàn)勝困境、幫助他人而受到普遍的尊敬。她是美國最富有的非洲裔女性、美國歷史上最慷慨的黑人慈善家，還曾經(jīng)是世界上唯一一名黑皮膚的億萬富翁。她現(xiàn)在仍有不可思議的影響力: Kindle 受到奧普拉的稱贊后，其書在圣誕節(jié)前就售罄一空。她正在籌建自己的有線電視網(wǎng)絡(luò)OWN，明年向 7000萬觀眾推出。
