Carol B. Tomé
- Company: Home Depot
- Revenue: $74.8 billion
The housing bust might have spelled the end for a chain like Home Depot. Yet conservative plays by Tomé
have helped the chain not just survive, but thrive despite the weak
recovery. She scaled back the pace of new-store growth before the
crisis, and invested heavily during the downturn. The result? The chain
has handily outstripped the S&P over the last five years. Tomé's
performance and her role, unusually broad for a CFO, have prompted
speculation she may be in line for the top spot.
