Carly Fiorina worked her way through undergraduate and graduate school and began her business career as a secretary for a small business. She became the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 company, serving as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005. She was named Fortune’s Most Powerful Woman in Business for six consecutive years.
During her tenure, Carly led the reinvention of a legendary company, tripling its rate of innovation, achieving market leadership, transforming its cost structure and accelerating growth. Despite controversy and opposition, she successfully acquired and integrated Compaq Computer, in what is now seen as the most successful high-tech merger in history. Under her leadership, HP doubled in revenues to $88 Billion and generated 11 patents a day, with significantly improved profitability and cash flow. HP became a leader in every product category and market segment in which it competed.

Republicans will seek to decentralize power--leaving decisions and money in the hands of states--better yet voters--rather than centralize it in Washington.
Republicans will put their faith in the individual’s ability to make better choices for their families and their businesses vs. Democrats who will focus on bigger government and government institutions to solve today’s challenges.
Republicans will trust private sector job creators over government agencies, tax dollar stimulus and regulation to make better decisions for our economy and ultimately create sustainable jobs.
