????8. 麗貝卡?雅各比

????職務：首席信息官

????現任職務：思科公司（Cisco Systems）首席信息官

????雅各布擁有IT和財務兩方面的經驗，因此她精通技術，又懂得如何和公司領導層溝通。作為全球最大企業之一的CIO，雅各布協助在內部研發一款產品，在產品確定并發布之前，公司65,000名員工，尤其是占多數的技術人員，會針對產品提出各種最挑剔的意見。她最早開始采用“自帶移動設備”原則、虛擬化和云技術。但雅各布曾經說過，對于她的職位，最關鍵的是溝通，而不是技術方面的專業知識。難怪有傳言稱她也被列入現任CEO約翰?錢伯斯繼任者的名單。

????8. Rebecca Jacoby

????Position:Chief information officer

????Currently:CIO, Cisco Systems

????With a background in both IT and finance, Jacoby is fluent in technology and knows how to talk to business leaders. As CIO of one of the largest enterprise companies in the world, Jacoby helps shape Cisco products by rolling them out internally -- and Cisco's 65,000 employees, many of them techies, can be her harshest critics -- before they're made available to customers. She was an early adopter of BYOD (bring your own device), virtualization, and the cloud. But it's communication, not technological know-how, that's key to doing her job, Jacoby has said. Perhaps it is no wonder that she's rumored to be on the shortlist of folks to succeed CEO John Chambers.
