TEven a short while ago, women wield- ing real power in their profession were few and far between. But this year there is a remarkable clustering of women in top positions in major sectors of the city’s economy: Banking, media—partic- ularly news media—and even the stock exchanges have multiple female leaders. Read on and celebrate progress! VIRGINIA ROMETTY Chairwoman, president and CEO, IBM IBM 2018 REVENUE $79.6 billion NYC IMPACT Member of the board of overseers and managers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center VIRGINIA ROMETTY, 61, is in the process of scooping up Red Hat, an open- # source cloud software distributor, for a cool $34 billion in IBM’s largest 1 acquisition and the third-biggest ever 2017 RANK: 2 in U.S. tech. It’s her latest move to drive growth as IBM, the world’s sixth- largest tech company, faces o against Amazon, Google and other competitors in a cloud-computing market expected to grow to more than $600 billion by 2023. In her seven years at the helm of the tech giant, Rometty has been dogged by sagging revenues as she’s unloaded traditional, low-margin businesses and made big bets on cognitive computing, arti cial intelligence and blockchain, cybersecurity and quantum technologies. Cloud computing was a bright spot in the  rst quarter, with revenue up 10%. On the human side of the tech business, Rometty has used her in uence to ease the path for women getting back into the workforce with IBM’s “returnship” program. She is helping students prepare for tech careers with the company’s Pathways in Technology Early College High School program.

CN019203.indd 1 6/12/19 12:18 PM CRAIN’S MOST POWERFUL WOMEN IN NEW YORK On the verge Three women at JPMorgan Chase are poised to break one of the business world’s last glass ceilings

THERE NEVER has been a female chief of a major U.S. bank. But the odds of that changing just got a lot better. JPMorgan Chase in April announced a reshuf ing that gave new roles to two of its female executives: Marianne Lake and Jennifer Piepszak. The positions are seen as offering them the chance to burnish their quali cations to be CEO. Also mentioned for years in the context of succession is Mary Callahan Erdoes, who has run the bank’s lucrative asset- management unit for a decade. Jamie Dimon, the bank’s chief executive since 2006, said he MARY ANN expects to stay on for four or  ve more years. In that time, eyes will be on Erdoes, Lake and Piepszak as the opportunity for them to break one of the last glass ceilings in U.S. business TIGHE draws closer. For that reason, the trio share the No. 2 spot on this list. — AMY CORTESE
