The “100 Most Powerful Women in Business” ranking, published in the March 2026 edition of Expansión, focuses on the corporate sector and recognizes the women with the greatest influence in the country’s business landscape.
To compile the ranking, the magazine launched an open call in which 347 profiles were analyzed. The methodology considers four main criteria: position and company size (40%), impact and influence beyond the role (40%), scope of leadership (15%), and participation within the organization (5%).
The presence of these leaders in the ranking reflects the impact EGADE alumnae have on transforming organizations and on developing the business environment in Mexico and across the region.
