The newest additions to thehail from 14 countries and represent formidable forces across financial markets, political institutions, and the new media landscape. Despite ongoing pandemic-related job losses, supply chain woes, and political instability, the 21 newcomers on this year's list are defying the odds to take their companies public, lead massive corporations, and accelerate opportunities for other women.
In the U.S., Thasunda Brown Duckett, No.45, is one of the highest-ranking Black female CEOs ever in her new role as head of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America . With over $1.3 trillion in assets under management, Duckett joins a new guard of women leading major financial institutions.
Meanwhile, media mogul and EbonyLife founder Mo Abudu, No. 99, is on a mission to bring Africa's stories to the world and upend Western misperceptions of the continent. Following the breakout success of Squid Game, the entertainment industry is looking beyond Hollywood to source local stories that resonate with a global audience. It's a formula that Abudu has been championing all along, culminating in her signing Netflix's first multi-title deal with an African production company.
