Good morning, Broadsheet readers! JPMorgan's board spotlighted two women executives as leading CEO candidates, former President Donald Trump updates his stance on abortion, and Fortune names its first female CEO. Have a lovely Tuesday.
- Fortune's first. When Anastasia Nyrkovskaya was growing up outside of Moscow in a town that was hidden from maps, she decided to pursue a career in business. Her parents and their friends were all rocket scientists, part of Russia’s equivalent of the Manhattan Project. She knew she wasn’t going to follow their path—”My parents were so incredibly smart, and I knew there was no way I could do that,” she says—and set out to build a different kind of career.
That career reaches a milestone today: Anastasia is the new CEO of Fortune, the first woman to lead the media organization. Anastasia joined Fortune in 2019 as CFO and later added chief strategy officer to her title. She takes over from Fortune CEO Alan Murray and joins editor-in-chief and chief content officer Alyson Shontell in steering a women-led news organization.
