With image links so you can judge for yourself whether the conclusions of the article hold true or not. Personally I don't think so. Whilst I wouldn't describe any of these hugely succesful women as unattractive, I think they would compare to the attractiveness ratings of male CEOs (also a bit above average).

As a whole, I think that's definitely a good-looking group of women.

  The only way we're going to resolve this is some manner of blind comparison data gathering like the ancient "hotornot" dotcom from a decade or so ago, assuming the only people interested enough to provide data aren't already so interested in the topic that they recognize the CEOs on sight.

This does not prove anything. Even if fewer smart but less attractive females were hired due to the discrimination we would still expect to see intelligent women that did get hired, attractive or not, end up making it.

Of course to test the theory the attractiveness should be judged based on their appearance at about age 22 and the judgement made by men 5-15 years older who were making the hiring judgements at the time.
