Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Could Be The Next Maria Bartiromo. Does She Have Enough Sex Appeal?

News Corp. has hired former HP CEO Carly Fiorina to be a contributor to its new Fox Business Network, due to launch next week.

Fiorina could become the next Maria Bartiromo (Anchor for CNBC) or Katie Couric (CBS). Fox did not say how often Miss Fiorina would be contrbuting, but the former HP Exec is considered to be charismatic, engaging, extremely intelligent and good-looking by the business community. That combination could make her the next household name in news.

The thing that stands out among the successful female network news anchors is that they each have sex appeal which helps draw in their predominately male viewing audiences. Fiorina definitely brings that quality to the table.

“I am pleased to have the opportunity to continue to speak out on issues of vital concern to our economy and our nation,” Fiorina said in a written statement.

The question is, how will she stand up to the two Queens of Network and Business News?
