This year, we are showcasing 100 exceptional businesswomen from diverse sectors such as finance, technology, healthcare, telecommunications, retail, and energy.
This prestigious list features 52 remarkable women from the United States, alongside 8 from both China and the United Kingdom, 7 from France, and 3 each from South Korea, Germany, Brazil, and Singapore. Additionally, representatives from South Africa, Australia, and Japan are included, with one outstanding executive each from the United Arab Emirates, India, Hong Kong, Sweden, Mexico, Kuwait, and the Netherlands.
The ranking, meticulously compiled by COSMOS Analytica and the editors of CEOWORLD magazine, considers key factors like company size and overall health, as well as an executive’s career trajectory, influence, innovation, and commitment to improving business success. This list is the definitive acknowledgment of the women who are shaping the present and future of global business.
Leading the list is the formidable GM Chief Mary Barra, recognized for her exceptional ability to steer GM through unprecedented challenges—including strikes, accidents, tariffs, and political shifts—solidifying her position at the top.
