Connecticut businesswoman and executive Linda McMahon poses at her office in Stamford, Conn. Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016. McMahon, a former Republican senate nominee, spoke about her new venture, Women's Leadership LIVE - a group of keynotes, panel discussions, group processes and workshops designed to "educate, inspire and empower women to stand out as catalysts for change and to build a world where women obtaining and exercising power is both expected and commonplace."

With Donald Trump to begin his term as U.S. President roughly a month from now, his cabinet is beginning to fill up. It was announced today that Trump has hired Linda McMahon as his pick to run the Small Business Administration. McMahon had unsuccessfully run twice for senate in Connecticut and as we know, the McMahons have known Trump for many years.

Honored to be appointed by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as head of @SBAgov advocating for our small businesses & entrepreneurs!

In a statement, WWE Hall of Famer Trump said: “Linda has a tremendous background and is widely recognized as one of the country’s top female executives advising businesses around the globe.”

As we know, Linda worked as WWE's CEO for many years and was basically Vince McMahon's business parter in growing the WWE as a company.
