Sandy Lerner, Cisco Systems
Sandy Lerner was a co-founder of Cisco Systems. But in 1990, just after six years after she found the company, she was fired by Cisco System's president. According to Don Valentine, who was the Cisco chairman and seven company VP's stormed his office one day and threatened to quit unless Lerner was let go. Lerner was removed shortly after that.
