&lt;p&gt;The woman who grew eBay from a $5 million company into a $8 billion company. The woman who spent more money on a self-funded (unsuccessful) governor campaign than anyone in American history. The woman responsible for making Mr. Potato Head one of children&#39;s most beloved toys. Yes, Meg Whitman is all of these things and, of course, much more (like the women who sits on umpteen boards, including those of HP, P&amp;amp;G, and Zipcar; and the woman who formerly served as chief executive officer of FTD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/8e067f97-3933-4f6d-b099-2c6b152b97b5/00000320.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;226&quot; height=&quot;339&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;And now, Meg is also the most high-profile woman working in the private equity industry. That is, she just joined the hotshot PE firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield &amp;amp; Byers, which also counts among its ranks former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, ex-Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell, ex-tech analyst guru from Morgan Stanley Mary Meeker, and big-time donor to Democratic causes John Doerr -- who might not be so excited about his new workmate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Last year, Doerr gave $1 million to defeat California&#39;s Prop. 23, &quot;the November ballot initiative that would have gutted [that state&#39;s] landmark greenhouse gas law.&quot; It was a proposition that, during her campaign, Whitman called a &quot;job killer.&quot; She also said &quot;had she been governor when it was passed, she would probably have vetoed it.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Which makes me wonder what Doerr and Whitman will talk about around the KPCB water cooler.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(San Jose Mercury News: Meg Whitman Joins Venture Firm Kleiner Perkins)&lt;/p&gt;
