Claudia Ng. You probably never heard of her because she's in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
My friends founded a little wireless access point startup back in 2001. This is back before it was even called Wi-fi, you just tried to sell people on something called "eight-oh-two-eleven-bee". They brought Claudia in to manage. She was our former manager at another startup and was very well-liked. Pretty soon she'd turned it into a dominant hotspot network in the entire province (by some measures, all of Canada), and sold it to an ISP. That business went from my friend's apartment to a signature address in downtown Vancouver in just four years.
She's won just about every business award they give out in that city. She's also an awesome person with a great sense of humor. Proof that you don't have to be evil to get ahead.
Since then she's done a number of things and is now working on flat-panel advertisements. I can introduce you if you like.
