There have been hundreds (thousands?) of incredibly successful entrepreneurs among LSJU alums (including of course, Sarafan's predecessor as Chair of BOT, Jerry Yang). Virtually all have been male, going back to Hewlett and Packard. In contrast, there have been very few women LSJU alums who founded a world class business venture, and Lily is one of them. A worthy choice for the next BOT chair.

I'll take that as a challenge because, anecdotally, it does seem like there are many more male founders than female founders.  
Might be more common to see Stanford women chosen to lead significant existing companies, like HP (Fiorina) or Yahoo (Mayer).  
Anyway, the founder of Evite is a female Stanford alumna, circa my time on campus.
I'm sure members of this board can add a bunch.
