MPW: Europe, Middle East & Africa
More than half the members of our EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) list are heads of major companies, six are newcomers, and 10 are located in the U.K. One surprise: Nine of our MPWs—including No. 1 Ana Botín of Banco Santander—work in finance, a sector known for its dearth of women.
