CPO in Top 10 Powerful Businesswomen

Siemens CPO Barbara Kux has been named the sixth most powerful woman in business by Fortune magazine.

Having missed out last year while completing her move from Phillips to Siemens, she jumped 13 places from her 2007 ranking of 19th in the top 50 in the same poll.
