She was a token female exec much like Sheryl Sandberg. Unlike Marrisa Mayer, these empty pantsuits have accomplished absolutely nothing and are merely part of the feel good lib movement to empower women. Once the figures are tabulated it’s clear the good press for having women in power is offset by the dead weight they bring to revenue. Good Riddance.
