Based in Toronto, Broader is President and CEO of the Walmart’s EMEA region. That also gives her oversight of what will soon be the mass retailer’s two largest international markets—the UK and Canada (where she recently announced Walmart would soon open 113 more stores). Also under her purview: MassMart, the second largest retailer in Africa, which has a presence in twelve countries on the continent and saw 10.4% sales growth in 2014. Last year, Broader was named to President Obama’s Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa; she chairs the Supply Chain committee. —Erika Fry
