CNBC is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Changemakers list. Learn more and submit a nomination by Nov 21.
CNBC is now accepting nominations for our third annual Changemakers list.
The list recognizes women transforming business and philanthropy, female leaders who have accomplished a meaningful achievement in 2025. The goal of our list is to highlight trailblazing women who have defied the odds — women now run a record 11% of Fortune 500 companies, a number that’s been on the rise over the past decade. But that record number still represents a massive gender gap, and it’s actually growing in key roles across corporate America, making the annual CNBC list more important than ever.
Women who are leaders at companies and organizations (including philanthropies) with at least $25 million in annual revenue in at least one of the past three years, or an enterprise value of $100 million for private companies and $250 million for public companies can submit a nomination.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, Nov. 21 at 11:59 pm EST.
