How it works
We all know one: a powerful, determined businesswoman who, honestly, would be a little intimidating if she weren’t so damn good at her job. Nominations for Biz 417’s annual Women Who Mean Business feature will begin later this year—check back soon for more info. Strong candidates are women who are leading the way in their field, running boardrooms or giving back in big ways.
