They did play it up quite a bit, I remember being annoyed at the stories of how tough she was with her in-office daycare and support staff for her newborn while other non-celebrity women I know had to order their whole lives around a pumping schedule.

How does you being annoyed by the reporting on a CEO's daycare situation, let us deduce that this CEO was not hired based on merit?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that. I don't think she was a diversity checkbox so much as a 'small world in silicon valley' unmeritorious hire, with the diversity checkbox as maybe a small plus.

She didn’t compete. She was a placement pick coming from google where she was essentially a non contributing member of the google adwords leadership team.
