Warrior

CEO: stop making women work harder – Business Insider. Warrior is NEXTEV Chief Development Officer & US CEO
Previously: Chief Technology & Strategy Officer of Cisco, Chief Technology Officer in Motorola –

After 30 years in the tech industry, most recently as Cisco’s chief strategy officer where she orchestrated deals like Cisco’s new partnership with Apple, Padmasree Warrior is the quintessential diplomatic.

She came up the ranks first as an engineer, then a CTO, and just landed the US CEO role at a highly watched electric vehicle startup NextEV.
