Fortune 500: Companies with Female CEOs | Fortune

Female CEOs in the Fortune 500 aren’t quite the norm yet, but they have been making strides.

As of 2017, there are 32 female CEOs on the list, meaning that 6.4% of the U.S.’s biggest companies (by revenue) are run by women. This is the highest proportion of female CEOs in the 63-year history of the Fortune 500.

The women run a diverse range of companies—from consumer goods behemoths like PepsiCo to defense contractors like Lockheed Martin—but they are, predominantly, white. At the moment, just two names on the list are women of color: Geisha Williams of PG&E Corporation (pcg) and Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo (pep). None are African American.
