In 2011, Profiles in Diversity Journal selected Mary Barra as a Woman Worth Watching®—recognizing her early leadership at General Motors. https://womenworthwatching.com/mary-barra/
Today, as Fortune Magazine names her the #1 Most Powerful Woman in Business for the second year running, we join in celebrating a leader whose impact continues to grow. (Fortune, June July 2025)
Mary Barra’s success is a shining example of what our mission has always been: to spotlight exceptional leadership before the world fully sees it.
Women Worth Watching®—27 years strong.
Over 2,500 leaders honored.
Countless lives inspired.
