The Power List: America’s 50 Most Powerful Women In Business For 2016

Mary Barra GM Boss

General Motors boss Mary Barra has been named as the most powerful woman in business for 2016, according to the Fortune magazine, a Time, Inc. publication. Among the many reasons, GM boss claimed the No. 1 spot on the list, which included 51 women in all, after she led the auto giant to record-breaking profits in 2015 of $9.7 billion after dealing with ignition switch recalls in 2014.

The rest of the Top five: PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi earning second place, Lockheed Martin’s chairman and CEO Marillyn Hewson (3rd), Ginni Rometty of IBM (4th), and Abigail Johnson, president and CEO of Fidelity Investments at the 5th place.

Rounding out the top ten are Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg (6th); HP’s Meg Whitman (7th); Phebe Novakovic (8th); Irene Rosenfeld (9th); and Safra Catz at 10th place.
