Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina (née Sneed; born September 6, 1954) is an American Presidential candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election and a former technology executive and CEO. She currently chairs the non-profit philanthropic organization Good360.〔Dolan, Kerry. (Carly Fiorina's Latest Quest: Rallying Corporate America To Help Fight Ebola ), ''Forbes'' (October 8, 2014).〕 In 1980, Fiorina started at AT&T as a management trainee and rose through the ranks to become the company's first female executive officer. In 1995, Fiorina led corporate operations for AT&T's equipment and technology spin-off, Lucent Technologies. As chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005, she was the first woman to lead a top-20 company as ranked by ''Fortune'' magazine. In 2002, Fiorina oversaw what was then the largest technology sector merger in history, in which HP acquired rival personal computer manufacturer Compaq. The transaction made HP the world's largest seller of personal computers.〔Bagley, Constance. ''(Managers and the Legal Environment: Strategies for the 21st Century )'', p. 599 (Cengage Learning 2015).〕 HP subsequently laid off 30,000 U.S. employees. By 2004, HP's total number of both U.S. and non-U.S. employees, including roughly 8,000 employees of companies acquired by HP after 2001, was around the same number as the pre-merger number of employees at HP and Compaq combined.〔〔〔Goldman, David. ("Behind Carly Fiorina's 30,000 HP layoffs" ), CNN Money (September 21, 2015): "She has also noted -- correctly — that despite bruising layoffs, she hired more people than she fired. HP and Compaq had a combined 148,100 employees just before she was hired in 1999, and 150,000 by the time she was fired in 2005."〕 On February 9, 2005, the HP board of directors forced Fiorina to resign as chief executive officer and chair.〔〔〔 After HP, Fiorina served on the boards of several organizations, and was an adviser to Republican Senator John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. In 2010, she won the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in California, but lost the general election to incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://elections.nbcnews.com/ns/politics/2010/california/senate/#.VeJVLtNVhBc )〕 On May 4, 2015, she announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2016 U.S. presidential election as the only woman running for the Republican nomination. ==Early life and education== Fiorina was born on September 6, 1954, in Austin, Texas, the daughter of Madelon Montross (née Juergens) and Joseph Tyree Sneed, III. The name "Carleton", from which "Carly" is derived, has been used in every generation of the Sneed family since the Civil War. At the time of her birth, Fiorina's father was a professor at the University of Texas School of Law. He would later become dean of Duke University School of Law, Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Federal Judiciary )〕 Her mother was an abstract painter. She is mainly of English and German ancestry, and was raised Episcopalian.〔 Fiorina attended Channing School, in London. She later attended five different high schools, including one in Ghana,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Carly Fiorina Biography Business Leader, U.S. Representative (1954–)" )〕 graduating from Charles E. Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina. At one time she aspired to be a classical pianist. She received a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy and medieval history at Stanford University, in 1976. During her summers, she worked as a secretary for Kelly Services. She attended the UCLA School of Law in 1976, but dropped out after one semester and worked as a receptionist for six months at a real estate firm, Marcus & Millichap, moving up to a broker position before leaving for Bologna, Italy, where she taught English.〔Fiorina, ''Tough Choices'', p. 21.〕 Fiorina received a Master of Business Administration, in marketing, from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1980. She obtained a Master of Science, in management, at the MIT Sloan School of Management, under the Sloan Fellows program, in 1989. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carly Fiorina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
