Six Smoking Hot CEOs

Tamara Lundgren –
Schnitzer Steel (SCHN)

Who says a woman can’t run a tough-as-nails industrial company? Tamara Lundgren, a Wellesley grad with legal and finance experience, grabbed the wheel at Schnitzer Steel (SCHN) and welcomed the challenge of operating a company in a male-dominated industry.

With steel prices pressured by the weak economy, Lundgren hopes to make up the difference with volume. Her primary target is the cash for clunkers program that fits perfectly with Schnitzer’s strategy of recycling.

No time to fret over problems here. Lundgren is attacking the industry head-on.
