????8. 丽贝卡?雅各比

????职务：首席信息官

????现任职务：思科公司（Cisco Systems）首席信息官

????雅各布拥有IT和财务两方面的经验，因此她精通技术，又懂得如何和公司领导层沟通。作为全球最大企业之一的CIO，雅各布协助在内部研发一款产品，在产品确定并发布之前，公司65,000名员工，尤其是占多数的技术人员，会针对产品提出各种最挑剔的意见。她最早开始采用“自带移动设备”原则、虚拟化和云技术。但雅各布曾经说过，对于她的职位，最关键的是沟通，而不是技术方面的专业知识。难怪有传言称她也被列入现任CEO约翰?钱伯斯继任者的名单。

????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.
