    4. I'd bet on Meg Whitman. Carol Bartz is on the other end of the table, and the only other women tech CEOs are Marissa Mayer and Ginni Rometty, both of whom didn't become CEO until 2012.

    5. Eric Schmidt

    6. Probably Art Levinson

    7. John Chambers

    10. Reed Hastings

    12. Carol Bartz
