Thanks to some superb reporting courtesy of the fact checkers at The Washington Post, the most compelling part of Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s biography — her rise from secretary to CEO — has been fully confirmed.
Frequently, and for obvious reasons, Fiorina talks about her incredible rise from a part-time secretary at a real estate firm to CEO of Hewlett Packard, one of the most powerful corporations in the world.
Before confirming that her life story is 100% accurate, Washington Post fact-checker Michelle Ye Hee Lee gives us numerous examples of Fiorina relating her life story:
More“I started as a secretary, typing and filing for a nine-person real estate firm. It’s only in this country that you can go from being a secretary to chief executive of the largest tech company in the world, and run for president of the United States. It’s only possible here.”— Business executive Carly Fiorina (R), interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Sept. 21, 2015“My story, from secretary to CEO, is only possible in this nation, and proves that everyone of us has potential.”— Fiorina, second GOP debate, Sept. 16, 2015“A self-made woman, she started her business career as a secretary and went on to become the first, and to date, the only woman to lead a Fortune 20 company.”— Fiorina’s biography on her 2010 campaign Web site for U.S. Senate seat in California
