4. This doesn't superise me at all

My girlfriend is has been very aggressively courted by a number of major consumer facing companies. She supervises product development for a technology company, she isn't however interested in being a diversity statistic or token female executive or in any public facing role.

She is extremely good at what she does, if you handed her anything from your cell phone to a television remote she could tell you within fifteen minutes exactly what it cost to manufacture and probably where it was manufactured based on the exact shade of beige or green on the circuit-board. She would probably be the preferred candidate for a lot of product development or production management positions. But many of the companies that have courted her could even articulate precisely what it is they wanted her to do.
