The Rise of Women in Leadership

April 18th, 2024

CNBC Changemakers Event

CNBC is gearing up to host the first-ever CNBC Changemakers event in NYC on April 18th. This event celebrates the remarkable success of women in leadership roles and their innovative approaches to traditional business challenges.

Pioneering Women

The inaugural CNBC Changemakers list features exceptional women who have defied the odds, introduced innovations, and flourished in a dynamic business environment. These trailblazers include startup founders, influential personalities in the media industry, and advocates for women's sports.

Acknowledging the Impact

Despite these achievements, the representation of women leaders remains limited. Women hold less than 10% of S&P 500 CEO positions, and only 2% of venture capital funding goes to women founders. CNBC Changemakers aims to highlight the indelible contributions of these women who have significantly impacted the economy and the business world in 2023.

Looking Ahead

As the event approaches, CNBC emphasizes the need for greater recognition and support for innovative women leaders. The CNBC Changemakers event will serve as a platform to acknowledge these accomplishments and inspire future generations to follow in their footsteps.
