Mary Teresa Barra
(born December 24, 1961 as Mary Teresa Makela) is an American business executive.[2] She is known as the Executive Vice President of Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain at General Motors. In August 2012, she was recognized as the 41st most powerful woman in the world by Forbes Magazine.[3] On December 10th, 2013, GM named her to be the next CEO to succeed Dan Akerson, making her the first female CEO of a major automaker. Barra is scheduled to take office as CEO in January 2014.[4]
http://management.fortune.cnn.com/2012/12/17/gm-mary-barra/ Barra dresses up her own corporate-issue pantsuits with black nail polish, rainbow-framed reading glasses, and four-inch heels. With Scandinavian good looks
(both her parents are Finnish) and disarmingly doe-eyed, she is subject to fits of candor that would have derailed her career at the old GM. Asked at an employee meeting about prospects for the much-ballyhooed 2013 Cadillac ATS, she deftly dampened expectations when she replied, "Let's be honest: Cadillac may not be at the top of the shopping list of someone wanting to buy a BMW."
