Good morning! CBS News president Wendy McMahon is out, Sesame Street finds a new home, and Fortune’s Most Powerful Women list is here.
– At the top. Today’s the day: Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business list for 2025 is here.
In its 28th year, this list is the definitive ranking of the women driving the present and future of global business, with 100 executives from around the world. While the list has always been data-driven, we have a new methodology this year, assigning each candidate numeric scores (for our eyes only!) on six factors: the size of their business, the health of that business, the executive’s influence, innovation, career trajectory, and efforts to make business better. The business metrics incorporate both 12-month and three-year results.
