How we selected
100 Leading Women

F

or more than 15 years, Automotive News has closely
monitored the progress women have made in the
auto industry.
In 2000, when we put together our first list of 100
Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry, we
had a difficult time finding women in authority. But times have
changed. This year, in assembling our fourth list, we struggled
to choose among hundreds of powerful female executives.
The candidates were evaluated by a team of Automotive News
editors and reporters and Terry Barclay, CEO of Inforum;
Michelle Drew Rodriguez, Center for Automotive Insights
leader at Deloitte; and Nancy Rae, who was on the list the first
three times as head of Chrysler human resources and is now
retired.
The selection committee looked for influential women who
make major decisions. We considered the size and importance
of the candidate's business; the health and direction of the
business; and the arc of her career. We favored women in key
product-development and manufacturing jobs. We selected
executives from 54 companies.
The list is a tremendously strong roster of talented, powerful
women. They are at the forefront of thousands of successful
female executives in the auto industry.
Their accomplishments are exemplary, and it is with great
pride that we celebrate their success.
