New head of General Motors, Mary Barra NEW YORK, Feb 8 (AFP): The new head of General Motors, Mary Barra, has driven straight to the top of Fortune's first list of the most powerful women in global business.
Barra, a career veteran at GM, became chief executive of the largest US automaker in mid-January, the first high-profile female CEO in the male-dominated auto industry.
Barra "is not the type of boss who ever thought she'd be featured in Fortune, let alone sit atop the magazine's Most Powerful Women in global business ranking," Fortune said late Thursday.
