This year's new female Fortune 500 CEOs have one thing in common
Good morning! Taylor Swift buys back her masters, PBS sues Trump, and the 2025 Fortune 500 is here. – 55 out of 500. The 2025 Fortune 500 is out this morning—and women run 11% of companies on this year's list. Of the 500 businesses that claim spots on the ranking of the largest U.S. companies by revenue, female CEOs lead 55 of them. After two years at 10.4%, 11% is a slight increase. My colleague Nina Ajemian (who curates the second half of this newsletter each day!) has a rundown of this year's female Fortune 500 CEOs. After Karen Lynch's exit from CVS Health in October, GM is the largest Fortune 500 company, at No. 18, helmed by a female CEO—Mary Barra. As readers of this newsletter likely know, Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business list published about two weeks ago. This is the first time the Fortune 500 and MPW list have come out around the same time, so it's worth a reminder of how these two cohorts are different. The MPW list is an editorial ranking, in which Fortune editors rely on data, and other factors like influence, to choose the 100 Most Powerful Women working in business around the globe. The Fortune 500 is U.S.-based and relies solely on numbers; only 21 of the 55 female Fortune 500 CEOs made this year's MPW list. What stands out to me about this year's Fortune 500 is a trend among new female CEOs. It's become exceedingly rare for Fortune 500 companies to choose women as outside CEO hires. All of the newly-named female Fortune 500 chiefs in the past year were promoted into their jobs—at Ulta Beauty, Principal Financial, U.S. Bancorp, Marathon Petroleum, Albertsons, S&P Global, and Freeport-McMoRan. Is that aligned with broader executive hiring trends, or are companies scared to bet on women without an internal track record? Reply to this email to tell me what you think—and read more from Nina here. Emma The Most Powerful Women Daily newsletter is Fortune's daily briefing for and about the women leading the business world. Today's edition was curated by Nina Ajemian. Subscribe here. In total, Fortune 500 companies represent two-thirds of U.S. GDP with $19.9 trillion in revenues, and they employ 31 million people worldwide. Last year, they combined to earn $1.87 trillion in profits, up 10% from last year—and a record in dollar terms.

Meet the 10 CFOs on Fortune's 2025 Most Powerful Women in business list
Good morning. Fortune has released its Most Powerful Women (MPW) list for 2025, featuring 100 businesswomen from companies around the world. The list, compiled by Fortune editors, is based on company size and health, as well as each executive's career trajectory, influence, innovation, and efforts to make business better. No. 1 is General Motors CEO Mary Barra, who is among several Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 CEOs represented. As strategic partners to the CEO, the role of CFOs has also evolved far beyond traditional financial stewardship and reporting. Finance chiefs are now expected to be operational leaders, business partners, and key drivers of growth and innovation. Meet the 10 CFOs on the Fortune 2025 MPW list:—, deputy chairwoman, rotating chairwoman, CFO of Huawei, No. 10 Meng Wanzhou, daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, is Huawei's CFO. Meng's terms as chair have coincided with the release of Huawei's new iPhone-beating smartphones. Huawei is now part of China's chip plans as Washington tries to limit China's access to foreign-made semiconductors. Nvidia now considers Huawei a 'strategic competitor.' The company reported $118 billion in revenue for 2024, close to its 2020 record. —, CFO of Meta Platforms, No. 41 At age 39, Susan Li is among the youngest finance chiefs in the Fortune 500, but she spent nearly two decades at Meta, helping guide the company to a market cap exceeding $1 trillion. Li joined Meta (then Facebook) in 2008 and became CFO in 2022 after serving as vice president of finance. Li will oversee the company's full-year 2025 capital expenditures, projected to be in the range of $64 billion to $72 billion, with a significant portion directed toward infrastructure hardware and data-center investments to support its AI efforts. —, CFO of Nvidia, No. 44 Colette Kress has led Nvidia through unprecedented demand for products like Blackwell GPUs, which power AI-related computing tasks. She joined Nvidia as CFO in 2013 after senior finance roles at Cisco and Microsoft. During Kress's tenure, Nvidia has become one of the world's most valuable companies, with its market cap reaching a high of almost $3.5 trillion and currently hovering near $3 trillion. For fiscal 2025, Nvidia posted record results, with revenue reaching $130.5 billion—more than the $60.9 billion earned the previous year. —, SVP and CFO of Alphabet and Google, No. 51 Anat Ashkenazi became CFO of Alphabet and Google in July 2024. One of her strategic priorities as finance chief of the $2 trillion company is to integrate AI within its processes to boost efficiency and productivity, with cost reductions helping to fund AI innovation. Ashkenazi will oversee Alphabet's investment of approximately $75 billion in capital expenditures in 2025. She previously had a 23-year career at Eli Lilly and Company, culminating in her appointment as CFO in 2021. Ashkenazi supported the development of groundbreaking weight loss drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro. —, EVP and CFO of Microsoft, No. 56 As Microsoft's first female finance chief, Amy Hood is tasked with ensuring a historic AI investment spree keeps the world's most valuable company a step ahead. Microsoft is set to shell out $80 billion during its current fiscal year. During her 12 years as EVP and CFO, revenue has more than tripled and is expected to hit $275 trillion this year, per Visible Alpha. —, CFO of ByteDance, No. 81 ByteDance may be the world's most important social media company—what other startup could claim to be going toe-to-toe with U.S. presidents? Amid a geopolitical battle over its TikTok unit's future in the U.S., CFO Julie Gao is keeping an eye on the Chinese startup's monster finances. A hotly anticipated IPO is likely also on Gao's mind. ByteDance is one of the planet's most valuable startups, with investors valuing it as high as $312 billion. —, CFO of Shell, No. 86 Sinead Gorman stepped into the role of CFO at Shell, Europe's largest energy company, in 2022. Since joining Shell in 1999, Gorman also served in other key finance leadership positions, including EVP of finance for Upstream. In 2024, cash flow from operations was $54.7 billion, the second highest in Shell's history. Adjusted earnings were $23.7 billion, and revenue and other income amounted to $289 billion. —, CFO of Temasek, No. 87 Png Chin Yee is chief financial officer for Temasek, Singapore's massive state investment company. Png joined Temasek in July 2011, serving in roles such as head of financial services and senior managing director for China investments. For its most recent full financial year, which ended March 2024, Temasek increased its net portfolio value to $301 billion. —, CFO of DHL Group, No. 97 A trained physicist with a master in business from INSEAD, Melanie Kreis joined the logistics specialist DHL Group in 2004. She soon made a name for herself leading the €5.5 billion acquisition of U.K. logistics firm Exel and later the phased, multi-year sale of DHL's Postbank retail lender to Deutsche Bank. Kreis was promoted to the C-suite in 2014 and two years later became CFO. Last year Kreis helped DHL outgrow rivals FedEx and UPS to become the largest by revenue, at €84 billion. —, SVP and CFO of Exxon Mobil, No. 99 Kathryn Mikells joined Exxon Mobil in 2021 as SVP and chief financial officer. She previously spent six years as CFO of London-based Diageo. Mikells is Exxon's first official CFO; before her appointment, the finance duties were shared across a range of executive roles. Mikells is the first woman to join the management committee of Exxon. For the full year 2024, Exxon Mobil reported total revenue of $349.6 billion, up 1.5% year over year.
