Abstract:
Only four women are CEOs of the North Carolina 100, the state's largest private companies. They are Ann H. Gaither, of J. H. Heafner Co. Inc., a Lincolnton distributor of rubber tire products; Annabelle L. Fetterman, of Lundy Packing Company, a Clinton pork processor; Dale F. Halton, of Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Charlotte; and Lola Richardson, of Star-based Clayson Knitting Co. Inc. Nelson discusses with the four women how they got to be CEO's without being SOBs (Sons of the Boss).
