A job at the World Bank could also be a step toward entering the world of politics, which many observers had predicted Fiorina would do after her stint at HP.

"If she has aspirations to go into politics, this would be a way to recover from the HP thing," said Enderle. "It could be a powerful intermediate step to politics."

As HP CEO, Fiorina was known for maintaining a high profile, including meeting with world leaders such as Nelson Mandela.

The thought of her taking her "business acumen" into the government should scare the heck out of folks.
