Fortune released its 29th annual Most Powerful Women in Business list honoring 100 female executives shaping key sectors of the global economy. The honorees include Black women leading major companies and institutions across retirement services, investment management, retail, chemicals, manufacturing, and energy infrastructure. Black women remain underrepresented at the highest levels of corporate leadership, yet this year’s group holds roles with significant operational and financial scale. Several executives oversee businesses managing trillions in assets, running complex global manufacturing systems, and powering critical infrastructure networks. Examples include Thasunda Brown Duckett at TIAA, overseeing more than $1 trillion in assets and millions of customers, and Mellody Hobson at Ariel Investments, leading a major Black-owned investment firm and long-term strategy for institutional and individual investing.
