NEWCOMERS JOIN VETERANS Martha Wyrsch was poised to join Sempra Energy (281) at Diversity & the Bar’s press time but was certainly not the only woman to become general counsel at a hard hat com- pany in recent months. Earlier this year, Mary K.W. Jones, for example, was promoted to GC of Deere (85), which is widely known for its tractors and farming equipment. Across the span of U.S. industries, other newcomer GCs
to the Fortune® 500 include Marianne Short of UnitedHealth Group (17), Erin Lewin of Avnet (117), Lucy Helm of Starbucks (208), Rachel Gonzalez of Dean Foods (217), Ivonne Cabrera of Dover (308), Ruth Beyer of Precision Castparts (355), and Leslie Turner of Hershey (384). Paula Johnson of Phillips 66 (4) joins this list because
her petroleum refi ning company was spun off from its crude oil-producing parent, ConocoPhillips (45), paving the way for her ascension to general counsel. Johnson’s former colleague, Janet Langford Kelly, remains ConocoPhillips’ chief legal offi cer. Amy Fliegelman Olli of CA Technologies (499)
returns to the list because her computer software com- pany crept back into the Fortune® 500. A few women in this year’s roster are veterans of
previous MCCA surveys who now sport new business cards. For instance, Kim Rucker changed Fortune®

500 addresses by leaving the top in-house job at Avon Products for the one at Kraft Foods Group (151). Paulette Dodson jumped from Sara Lee to PetSmart (377). Currently the chief lawyer at Sherwin-Williams (282), Catherine Kilbane’s former employer, American Greetings, appeared in the Fortune® 1000 at least three times when she led its legal department. At some companies, women GCs have replaced
other women. For example, Dodson has replaced Emily Dickinson at PetSmart. Susan Lees’ predecessor at Allstate (92) was Michele Coleman Mayes, who has left the corporate world. Rhonda Taylor has replaced the retired Susan Lanigan at Dollar General (175), and Christine Castellano has replaced Mary Ann Hynes at Ingredion (386). Among the departures are Maria Pasquale, who has
left Celgene, and Maura Abeln Smith, who has been replaced at PepsiCo (43) by Larry T ompson, an African American man.
FORTUNE® 501-1000 In this year’s survey, another 84 women general counsel appear in the Fortune® 501-1000 (“Fortune® 1000”), an improvement from the total of 78 a year ago that mir- rored that of 2008.
