In a recently published article, appropriately named ‘Women on Top’, Playboy magazine has named its 10 sexiest CEOs in America. Sinha, the lone Indian on the list, features in the seventh spot.
A true Internet pioneer — though she earned her doctorate in Psychology from the Ivy League’s Brown University – Sinha decided she liked ‘building things’ more than writing academic articles. So, she co-founded the San Francisco-based SlideShare.
And, ever since its 2007 debut, the company has been greeted by a deluge of positive feedback, from users and critics alike. In fact, SlideShare has been hailed as the ‘YouTube of Powerpoint presentations‘, because it allows users to upload their presentations to the Web, so that they are accessible from any place, at any time.
Though Sinha's only in her 'late 30s', SlideShare is not her only success. In the past, she has consulted on user experience projects for companies like eBay, iFilm, AAA and Blue Shield. She also led the team that created MindCanvas, a rich online survey platform for designers

* Claire Chambers, CEO of Journelle, a lingerie retail company.
* Kerry Knee, CEO of Flirty Girl Fitness, a fitness lifestyle company
