This year’s new female Fortune 500 CEOs have one thing in common

Good morning! Taylor Swift buys its masters, PBS suits Trump, and 2025 Fortune 500 here.
55 out of 500. 2025 Fortune 500 outside this morning – women run 11 % of companies on this year’s list. Of the 500 commercial companies demanding stains in the classification of the largest American companies through revenues, the executive presidents lead 55 of them. After two years at 10.4 %, 11 % is a slight increase.
My colleague Nina Ajyan (which is entrenched in the second half of this newsletter every day!) Has a corridor of Fortune 500 executives for this year. After Karen Lynch from CVS Health in October, General Motors is the largest Fortune 500, ranked 18th, carried by Mary Barra.
Readers of this newsletter are also known, luckThe strongest list of women in the works published about two weeks. This is the first time that Fortune 500 and MPW came out almost the same time, so it is worth a reminder of how these two groups differ. MPW menu is an editorial arrangement, where luck Editors depend on data, and other factors such as influence, to choose the 100 most powerful businessmen working in the world all over the world. Fortune 500 is based in the United States and depends only on numbers; Only 21 of 55 senior executives Fortune 500 have achieved this year’s MPW list.
What emerges for me about Fortune 500 this year is a trend between new executives. It has become very rare for Fortune 500 companies choosing women as an external executive head. Almost all the new Fortune 500 presidents were upgraded last year to their jobs-in beauty, main financial, Bancorp, Petroleum Marathon, Albertson, and Ferpport Mumorran. Even Business Center Business Equinix, who rented head to go to the market for Google Cloud Adaire Fox-Martin, did not go far away; Fox Martin served on Equinix for four years.
Is this in line with the wider executive employment trends, or are companies afraid of betting on women without an internal record? Reply to this email to tell me your opinion – and read more Nina here.
