Women hold 17% of Fortune 500 CFO roles—meet the finance chiefs at the top 100

Good morning. The 2025 Fortune 500 list is out. The authoritative ranking of America’s largest companies highlights their resilience.

In this year’s 71st edition, only 22 companies from the previous year were displaced—the second-lowest total in the past 30 years. Fortune 500 profits climbed 10% to a record $1.87 trillion over the past year. Revenues increased by 6%, an improvement from 4% growth the previous year. This year, the companies on the list represent $19.9 trillion in revenue and two-thirds of total U.S. GDP.

For the 13th straight year, Walmart earned the top spot on the Fortune 500 list, generating more than $7 trillion in cumulative revenue over that period, followed by Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, Apple, and CVS Health. Several industries saw even stronger revenue gains, with aerospace and defense up 20%, wholesalers up 18%, and the tech sector rising 13%. You can view the complete list here.

This year, 55 women are in the CEO role at Fortune 500 companies—the highest share in the list’s history at 11%. The increase in representation is important to acknowledge and celebrate; however, “the pace of change remains stubbornly slow,” Jennifer McCollum, president and CEO of Catalyst, a workplace gender equity organization, told Fortune in an interview.

CEOs and CFOs are strategic partners leading these companies. The role of finance chiefs has evolved far beyond traditional financial stewardship and reporting. CFOs are now expected to be operational leaders, business partners, and key drivers of growth and innovation. This year, there are 87 women in CFO roles (17.4%) at Fortune 500 companies, slightly higher than 85 last year. By comparison, in 2014, about 10.6% of CFO roles at these large companies were held by women.

Zooming in on the top 100 companies this year, 19 of the CFOs are women. For example, Anat Ashkenazi has been the CFO of Alphabet (No. 7) since July 2024. One of her strategic priorities as finance chief of the $2 trillion company is to integrate AI within its processes to boost efficiency and productivity, with cost reductions helping to fund AI innovation. Kathryn Mikells, SVP and CFO of Exxon Mobil (No. 8), joined Exxon Mobil in 2021. She is Exxon’s first official CFO; before her appointment, finance duties were shared across a range of executive roles.

Yanela Frias began her tenure as EVP and CFO of Prudential Financial (No. 62) in March 2024. Frias has been with the company for more than 25 years. “From a role model perspective, for my two daughters, for all the women that I interact with, my goal is to show everyone that anything is possible,” Frias told me last year. “There are no limits other than what you apply to yourself.”

Meet the women CFOs leading the top 100 companies in the Fortune 500:

In total, Fortune 500 companies represent two-thirds of U.S. GDP with $19.9 trillion in revenues, and they employ 31 million people worldwide. Last year, they combined to earn $1.87 trillion in profits, up 10% from last year—and a record in dollar terms.
