From Women Worth Watching^® to CEO

When Profiles in Diversity Journal launched its inaugural Women Worth Watching^® issue in 2002, there were only 11 women at the helm of a Fortune 1000 company. Today, there are several dozen spanning Fortune 1000, Fortune 500 and Fortune 100, a good number of whom were recognized as Women Worth Watching before stepping into that role.

Over the years, we have recognized thousands of talented women who were nominated by their organizations for their impact on their workplaces and our world. In doing so, we have chronicled a movement and revealed a developing pipeline of leaders whose passion and potential simply cannot be ignored.

Below is a list of our CEO alumni that we’re proud to say have been Women Worth Watching^®.
