2026 Definitive List Group II

Group Two on the List was derived by reviewing the same 484 listed companies, and identifying division heads who run divisions of these companies with divisional revenue of $100 million or more. In other words, these divisions, if they were stand alone companies, meet the same criteria as Group One. We then review these divisions of these companies to identify females who are the chief executives of $100 million revenue or more in listed companies.
