Her friends call her "Condi", by the way..."Condoleezza" is from the Italian musical direction "con dolcezza": "with sweetness". Her mom was a music teacher. She's been on the board at Chevron, Charles Schwab, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Transamerica, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Endowment, Rand Corp, and KQED, in addition to being Provost at Standford. PhD PoliSci and Phi Beta Kappa, speaks Russian, French, German and Spanish.

No clear connection to Halliburton I can see.
