Today, Fortune announced the 2024 edition of the Most Powerful Women in business list, featuring 100 leading business women spanning finance, tech, health care, telecom, retail, energy, and other industries.
The 27th edition of the Fortune Most Powerful Women in business list recognizes 100 impressive leaders, including women calling the shots at Fortune Global 500 companies and some at emerging players. The ranking, global in scope for the second year in a row, has 12 leaders from East Asia, eight each from France and the U.K., three each from Australia and Singapore, and two each from Spain, Brazil, and Germany.
The list, compiled by Fortune editors – based on company size and health, their career path, influence beyond their organization, and how they wield power – includes 65 women CEOs. Some have recently taken on the role, such as Mitsuko Tottori of Japan Airlines and Bonnie Chan of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, both of whom are also the first female CEOs at their respective companies.
This year’s list also spotlights the exploding AI sector and the rise of «super CFOs» like Nvidia’s Colette Kress. In AI, and new to the MPW list, are computer science pioneer Fei-Fei Li and Daniela Amodei, president and cofounder of AI startup Anthropic.
Alyson Shontell, Fortune Editor in Chief and Chief Content Officer, said, «Since its inception, the Most Powerful Women in business list has served as a powerful reminder of the tremendous impact women leaders continue to have in shaping business today. They are not just adapting to change; they are driving meaningful transformation.»
Fortune CEO Anastasia Nyrkovskaya – the company’s first female CEO herself – said, «This list showcases how women executives are transforming businesses and entire industries. Their bold leadership and fresh perspectives will surely propel positive change for years to come.»
