She's the first woman to run a major pharmaceutical company, but Mylan CEO Heather Bresch says that really shouldn't matter. A West Virginia native, Bresch started working at Mylan 26 years ago typing prescription labels in the factory basement. "I don't think there are very many people today that start on the ground floor, work their way up, stay with the company and then have the opportunity to be CEO," Bresch says. Bresch is aware that she's part of a small -- and shrinking -- group of female executives, and she's hoping to help change that. Bresch is the only Fortune 500 CEO who is the child of a current sitting US Senator, West Virginia's Joe Manchin.
