Description

In 2006, Fortune and the U.S. State Department launched the Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership. The program brings rising-star women from developing countries to the U.S. each May to shadow participants of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit. We then follow them as they “pay it forward” back in their home countries. The program begins with an orientation in Washington, D.C., where mentees interface with women leaders in government, business, academic, civil society and the media. Participants then relocate to the offices of a top American female executive for an onsite mentorship assignment, in which each woman shadows their mentor and learns from the best practices of their host company. At the end of the mentorship, mentees reconvene in New York City to collectively reflect on their experience and discuss the future trajectory of their leadership path. Goldman Sachs partners with Fortune.com to compile an annual list - Fortune's Most Powerful Women - which Fortune has published since 1997. It also publishes an international edition, which it has since 2000. The Most Powerful Women in Business list is compiled by Fortune editors, who consider four criteria: the size and importance of the woman’s business in the global economy, the health and direction of the business, the arc of the woman’s career (résumé and runway ahead), and social and cultural influence.
