Woman in a Male Dominated World, Anne Lauvergeon


Such an interesting personality of ANNE LAUVERGEON, Chief Executive Officer of Areva, a nuclear giant company owned by the French government, to be dominating in a male world organization. The company has more than 65,000 employees in 4 continents all over the world. It is fascinating to know how this woman survived the environment and out-powered men in this business.

Anne Lauvergeon was tagged as the "Atomic Anne" or the "Queen of Nukes" by the press. She was a former CEO of another nuclear company Cogema in 1999 and by 2001 merged it with Framatome to create Areva. She is promoting nuclear energy as a way of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

She was included in the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in the World by Forbes Magazine. In 2004 she placed #53, in 2006 #8 and topped 14 in 2008. She even won the 360Fashion vote for the sexiest shoes in a conference.

Truly an amazing woman in the 21st Century. Wave the flag Madam!
