Most Powerful Women Asia

most powerful women asia

The Fortune Most Powerful Women Asia (MPW Asia) list is the definitive ranking of female business leaders from across the Asia Pacific region. The 2024 MPW Asia list recognizes women who are redefining the concept of leadership by transforming companies, disrupting industries and driving growth, innovation and business excellence, whilst inspiring their teams, peers, industries and the next generation of leaders. The 100 female executives represent a broad spectrum of industries including finance, energy, transportation, food and beverages, and hospitality—proving there is no one-size-fits-all approach to reaching the pinnacle of business in the Asia Pacific region.  The 2024 MPW Asia executives are based in 11 nations including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Australia—reflecting corporations’ broad regional scope. Over half of the 100 executives are CEOs, 26 are Chairpersons, and 11 are Chief Financial Officers. Thirteen executives lead national or regional divisions of multinational firms including Fortune 500 companies such as Starbucks, McDonald’s and Nike. More than ten per cent of the women are entrepreneurs who founded the businesses they lead. Notably, twenty leaders are also recognized on the Most Powerful Women list—now a global ranking which was first published by Fortune 27 years ago in 1998.
