You go, girl!

Wall Street's top woman made an even bigger splash. Sallie L. Krawcheck has been appointed CFO of Citigroup. That position also comes with another heady title: Head of Strategy. Not one to shrink from a challenge, this 39-year old is facing a 52-week low in stock price and continued battles with regulators.

On a side note, I got to hear Ms. Krawcheck speak last year and she told a hilarious story about her brief attempt to be a stay-at-home mom. Apparently, she realized that when she caught herself trying to teach her 3-month old to crawl, that her over-achieving personality would undoubtedly do more damage at home than at the office. Let's hope her career at Citigroup lasts much longer than her maternity leave! Sallie, you go, girl!
