The journey of women across the global workforce continues to be one of the most transformative stories of our time. Over the years, women have challenged conventions, shattered stereotypes, and claimed their rightful place as leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators. The numbers tell a story of progress: 35% of board roles globally are now held by women, 49% of entry-level positions are occupied by women, and 41% of management roles are led by women.

 

At the highest levels of leadership, 12% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women this year, the highest percentage to date, signaling encouraging strides toward gender equity. Research further highlights that companies with diverse leadership teams are 25% more likely to outperform their competitors, emphasizing the undeniable impact of inclusivity on driving business success.

 

While these milestones are worth celebrating, they also serve as a reminder that more work is needed to achieve gender parity across all levels of leadership and innovation. Every step forward is a step toward not only greater equity but also a more dynamic, innovative, and successful global economy.

 

This year, we are proud to present The StrongHer 100, 2025—a tribute to the Top 100 Global Women Trailblazers who have left an indelible mark on the world of business and entrepreneurship. These women have redefined leadership, conquered barriers, and opened doors for future generations. From C-suite executives spearheading transformation to investors fueling the next generation of startups, and from entrepreneurs creating groundbreaking solutions to industry pioneers whose legacy continues to inspire—these women exemplify resilience, vision, and excellence.

 

This year’s list also honors trailblazers and legends from the past whose foundational contributions have created pathways for the progress we celebrate today. Their stories remind us of the power of determination, collaboration, and the unyielding pursuit of a more equitable future.

 

We believe the achievements of The StrongHer 100 are a reflection of what is possible when talent is nurtured, opportunities are accessible, and barriers are dismantled. These remarkable women inspire us to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and build a future where everyone can thrive.
