According to ‘Forbes’, Bartz “transformed Autodesk from an aimless maker of PC software into a leader of computer-aided design software, targeting architects and builders. She is credited with instituting and promoting Autodesk’s ‘3F’ or “fail fast-forward” concept – the idea of moulding a company to risk failure in some missions, but to be resilient and move on quickly when failure occurs. She stepped down as CEO in 2006 and became the executive chairman of the board. Autodesk net revenue substantially increased during her tenure.

Bartz served on several boards of directors, including those of Intel, Cisco Systems, Autodesk, BEA Systems, Network Appliance, and the Foundation for the National Medals of Science.Additionally, she has been a member of the United States President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

When Bartz was hired by Yahoo in early 2009 she was paid an annual base salary of $1 million. She was eligible for an annual 400% bonus and received 5,000,000 shares in addition to an equity grant of $18 million of stock.

She was fired over the phone by Yahoo’s Chairman of the Board in October 2011.
