帕特?沃爾茨 所在公司：ADM（Archer Daniels Midland） 職務(wù)：首席執(zhí)行官 公司500強排名：122 ????出生于西賓夕法尼亞州的帕特?沃爾茨自幼就對商界有著濃厚的興趣。 ????2006年，沃爾茨曾向《財富》雜志（Fortune）透露，“我母親曾在學校當圖書管理員，她覺得暑假是繼續(xù)學習的好時節(jié)，”炎炎夏日，沃爾茨的暑假都泡在諸如亨氏（Heinz）番茄醬工廠和美國鋼鐵公司（U.S. Steel mill），她覺得生產(chǎn)過程奇妙無比。 ????時間很快來到1974年，沃爾茨從賓州州立大學（Penn State University）畢業(yè)并取得了會計學學位。隨后她進入匹茲堡市的安永會計事務(wù)所（Ernst & Young）擔任咨詢師。幾年后跳槽到海灣石油公司（Gulf Oil）。 ????1984年，海灣石油和雪佛龍（Chevron）合并之后，沃爾茨結(jié)識了很多新朋友并最終決定加入雪佛龍石油，負責公司的“下游”業(yè)務(wù)。 ????雖然她認為自己已經(jīng)具備就任首席執(zhí)行官的條件，但是要等雪佛龍當時的CEO大衛(wèi)?歐雷利退休還需數(shù)年的時間，因此，她在2006年2月毅然辭掉了那份工作。 ????當年4月，史賓沙公司（Spencer Stuart）的湯姆?內(nèi)福致電沃爾茨，商談就任ADM公司首席執(zhí)行官事宜。此后的事就人盡皆知了。 ????除了擔任ADM公司（Archer Daniels Midland）的首席執(zhí)行官，沃爾茨同時還是寶潔公司（Procter & Gamble）以及美中商會（U.S.-China Business Council）董事會成員。對了，此外她還是3個孩子的母親。 |
Patricia A. Woertz Company: Archer Daniels Midland Position: CEO Global 500 Rank: 122 ????Western-Pennsylvanian Patricia Woertz was interested in the corporate world from an early age. ????"Mom worked as a school librarian, and she felt summers were for education," Woertz told Fortune in 2006. Spending the sweaty vacation days in gems like a Heinz ketchup plant or a U.S. Steel mill, she found the production process fascinating. ????Fast forward to 1974. Woertz graduated from Penn State University with a degree in accounting. She became a consultant at Ernst & Young in Pittsburgh and moved to Gulf Oil several years later. ????After Gulf and Chevron merged in 1984, Woertz created many new contacts and eventually made a move to Chevron, taking charge of the company's "downstream" operation. ????Ready for a CEO position, but realizing that then-Chevron CEO David O'Reilly was several years from retiring, she stepped down from her position in February 2006. ????The following April, Tom Neff of Spencer Stuart called Woertz and discussed a CEO opportunity at ADM. The rest is history. ????As CEO, Woertz has led ADM while serving on the boards of directors of Procter & Gamble and the U.S.-China Business Council. Oh, and she's a mother to three children. |
