What Women Really Want

Sallie Krawcheck, the once most powerful women on Wall Street has had many ups and downs in her career which is perhaps best described in the cover story of Fortune Magazine in 2002. She admitted that all the volatility in her career has taught her how to be a better manager.

Her story on how she was recruited by CitiGroup  in 2001 to manage its brokerage business mainly to repair its tainted reputations and then two year later she was appointed CFO of what was world's largest bank  Observers say for someone with her level of experience managing a CFO position would have been difficult and certainly it was. In March 2007 Krawcheck was moved out of the CFO's office and was sent back to lead Citi's Wealth Management Division, a very public demotion.

Krawcheck was soon heading the Global Wealth Management function at Bank of America, but two years later it was deja vu. Management restructuring at the very top led to an inevitable demotion for Krawcheck and like she had two years earlier, she walked.
