A collection of quotes by Carly Fiorina.

Carly Fiorina is an American business executive and political figure who served as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005. She was born on September 6, 1954, in Austin, Texas. Fiorina earned a bachelor's degree in medieval history and philosophy from Stanford University and later completed her Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Maryland.

During her tenure at Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina led the company through a major merger with Compaq, which propelled HP to become one of the world's largest technology corporations. However, the merger was controversial, and Fiorina faced criticism for the subsequent decline in HP's stock price and layoffs. She was eventually dismissed in 2005.

After leaving HP, Fiorina ventured into politics and ran for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate from California in 2010 but was ultimately unsuccessful. In 2016, she ran for the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election, positioning herself as a political outsider. However, she suspended her campaign after a modest showing in the primaries.

Throughout her career, Carly Fiorina has been actively involved in various nonprofit organizations, focusing on education, global poverty, and women's empowerment. She has also authored multiple books, including her memoir "Tough Choices" and a book on leadership called "Find Your Way."
