Most Powerful Women
MORE CEOs. More promotions. More competitive than ever. That sums up Fortune’s 2019 Most Powerful Women in Business list, which includes nine newcomers—most of them chief executives, such as Best Buy’s Corie Barry and CDW’s Christine Leahy. In fact, there were so many qualified candidates that even a few of the record 36 female CEOs in the Fortune 500 didn’t make the cut. That’s not to say that equality has arrived in the business world. Finance is one of the most represented industries on this year’s list (with three execs from JPMorgan Chase alone), but the sector has yet to see a woman at the head of a major U.S. bank (see page 94). And despite the rise of CEOs like Flex’s Revathi Advaithi and AMD’s Lisa Su, women of color remain depressingly rare in the highest of corner offies. But as the 50 execs on these pages prove, women now hold more corporate power than ever before—and they’re not afraid to wield it.
