Top 10 black
women in Business (US)
by
Sonia Alleyne
In 2010 the
US Magazine Black Enterprise devised their most comprehensive list
to date, profiling the 75 Most Powerful Women in Business,
as written by the magazines careers and lifestyle editorial
director Sonia Alleyne. Alleynes rundown of the most prominent
African American business women made its way into the hands of the
publications nearly 3.7 million loyal readers and it is her
hope that seeing successful, strong, black women will influence
some of the publications struggling female readers to continue
their fight.
[We honor
these women] to show that it is possible. The benefit men have in
business, particularly in the corporate environment, is that they
have so many role models; successful men who recognize potential
in other young men and offer the necessary support and guidance
to make sure they succeed as well. Women have historically operated
outside of that network, but when we highlight women who have made
it to the senior ranks of an organization or in their own business,
it serves as a powerful source of inspiration to others who might
be silently struggling in their companies wondering if its
possible or if its even worth the effort, Alleyne
said.
In order to
make the list, women must either be executives who hold C-Suite
and/or president positions and have the title of senior vice president
or above at the parent company. Women can also be entrepreneurs;
a CEO, COO, or president with oversight of revenue generation, profitability,
product and service development, and brand management for their
entire company, as well as having gained industry-wide reputation
and corporate board positions outside the company.
