“Growth and Comfort Never Co-exist”
Growing up with a single mother and three siblings, Ginni Rometty, Chairman, President and CEO of IBM, learned the importance of a good work ethic at an early age. Ginni took these lessons to heart, from school to the workplace. “We learned you never let someone define who you are,” Ginni says. “Only you define who you are.” She earned a degree in engineering from Northwestern University (where she was also the valedictorian of her graduating class) and, in 2011, became the first female CEO of IBM. Today, Ginni defines what it means to be a strong, positive role model for women everywhere.
