Carly Fiorina is running for president having never held a political office. She didn't even qualify for the first primetime debate, but has since emerged as a challenger to Donald Turmp and the rest of the Republican party.

Carly Fiorina
American businesswoman and politician (born 1954)
Cara Carleton "Carly" Fiorina (; née Sneed; born September 6, 1954) is an American businesswoman and politician, known primarily for her tenure as chief executive officer (CEO) of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005. Fiorina was the first woman to lead a Fortune Top-20 company.[1]
Fiorina started her career at AT&T and subsequently worked at Lucent Technologies, where she led the joint venture with Philips.
In 2002, Fiorina oversaw what was then the largest technology sector merger in history, in which HP acquired rival personal computer manufacturer, Compaq. The transaction made HP the world's largest seller of personal computers.[2][3] HP subsequently laid off 30,000 U.S. employees. Nonetheless, the number of employees exceeded the pre-merger figure and grew to 150,000 during her tenure.[4][5][6] In February 2005, she was forced to resign as CEO and chair following a boardroom disagreement.[7][8][9]

Carly Fiorina Keynote Speaker
Carly Fiorina was Chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Packard from 1999 to 2005. She steered the company through the dot-com bust and subsequent recession and in 2002 she completed HP’s merger with Compaq.

Before joining HP, Carly worked for AT&T and oversaw the 1996 initial public offering of its technology spin-off Lucent.
In 2008, Carly served as an advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain. In November 2009, she announced her challenge to the incumbent Democrat Senator for California, Barbara Boxer, and in June 2010 she won the Republican primary election to become nominee.
