Patricia (Pat) Yarrington
- Company: Chevron
- Revenue: $233.9 billion
Yarrington
has played the long game at Chevron. She joined the company in 1980
after earning her MBA at Northwestern, and spent three decades climbing
the ranks to the CFO spot in 2009. One of her core business beliefs, she
said in a recent speech, has been persistence. "Take the long view,"
she said. "Don't get caught up worrying about climbing the career ladder
as fast as you can." The fruits of her patience? One of the most
important jobs at the country's second-largest oil company, and the
fourth highest paid.
