The 100 Most Powerful Women in Business of 2024 | Fortune

Most Powerful Women

The Fortune Most Powerful Women (MPW) list is the definitive ranking of female business leaders—and in its 27th year, it’s more competitive than ever. The 2024 MPW list ranks the 100 Most Powerful Women globally, reflecting corporations’ global scope and the nature of executives’ work, which spans the planet. The list features women from six continents, 19 countries and territories, and 14 different industries, proving there is no one-size-fits-all approach to reaching the pinnacle of business. These 100 executives are leading today’s companies—well over half are CEOs, largely across the Fortune 500 and Global 500—and the businesses of tomorrow. Of 26 newcomers, several amassed power amid the generative AI frenzy, from unicorn founders to CFOs steering the financial health of major AI players like Nvidia and Microsoft. Twenty leaders are also included on Fortune’s new MPW Asia list—a first-time ranking that highlights more leaders to know in the Asia-Pacific region. With a new No. 1, the 2024 MPW list shows the dynamic nature of the climate in which today’s most influential businesses operate and the skill required of the executives leading companies through it.
