Fortune MagazineTwo South African businesswomen are among the fifteen most powerful women in the world. That at least is what they say at the American business magazine Fortune. Their Women's Global Power 50 even places Cynthia Carroll of the South-African mining company Angloamerican at number one. She is an American, but she works in Johannesburg as the CEO of one of the biggest mining companies in the world. Number fourteen on the list is South-African: Maria Ramos. She leads Transnet, the partially government owned company that runs rails, ports and pipelines in South Africa. It apparently is list season. Last month I mentioned on this blog that the Forbes list, more focusing on political power, featured two African ladies.
