14. After Fiorina obtained two masters degrees, she had 19 years' experience and promotion as a manager at AT&T and Lucent.

If Fiorina failed, it was because the market for hardware dollars had peaked (although she did guide America's most respected printer brand from #1 straight to number two, if you take my meaning). She was a tested and experienced professional manager who failed the HP brand.

After Weiss got her bachelors at Columbia, she started a newsletter gaslighting about anti-Zionist thought at Columbia and later wrote occasional gaslighting opinion for the WSJournal. In 2019, The Jerusalem Post named Weiss the seventh most influential Jew in the world, after she resigned from the NYT.

Weiss has never had any business success to speak of, and certainly no management experience of any scale. Weiss's core brand seems to be "butthurt". Her only promotion is self-promotion.

These are two very different women, and two very different human models to follow.
