????作為一個(gè)男性主導(dǎo)的行業(yè)里的女性,，以及無(wú)數(shù)財(cái)務(wù)大師中的運(yùn)營(yíng)專家,，斯塔利?賽克斯非常引人矚目。身為公司高管,，她在安哥拉,、巴西和特立尼達(dá)的時(shí)間,，要多于在休斯敦辦公室的時(shí)間。那么她的工作是什么,？——從全世界最棘手的地區(qū)開采石油,。她是一位德州人，也是六個(gè)孩子的母親,，負(fù)責(zé)14個(gè)深水鉆探項(xiàng)目，因此可以說(shuō)她掌握著英國(guó)石油的未來(lái),。她說(shuō)：“面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn),，我從未說(shuō)不?！?/p>

????Starlee Sykes, 39

????Vice President, Deepwater Projects

????BP

????No. 6 (Global 500)

????“I was the first woman in my family to become an engineer.”

????Starlee Sykes stands out. A woman in a man’s industry. An operations expert in a sea of financial gurus. An executive who spends more time in Angola, Brazil, and Trinidad than in her Houston office. Her job? Extract oil from some of the world’s trickiest spots. The gig puts Sykes—one of six kids and a Texan—in charge of 14 deepwater drilling projects and, in turn, BP’s future. Says Sykes: “I’ve never said no to a challenge.” —Stacey Higginbotham
