CNBC is now accepting nominations for our fourth annual Changemakers list.

Across industries, women continue to take on roles with greater control over capital, strategy and technology at some of the world's most consequential businesses. This list recognizes the women reshaping business and philanthropy — the leaders whose achievements in 2026 expanded the boundaries of influence, innovation and impact.

The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, Dec. 4 at 11:59 pm EST and the list will be announced in February 2027.

Women who are leaders at companies and organizations (including philanthropies) with at least $25 million in annual revenue in at least one of the past three years, or an enterprise value of $100 million for private companies and $250 million for public companies can submit a nomination.

Our CNBC Changemakers Advisory Board of experienced leaders across business and philanthropy will help us determine the weight of criteria used to select the women recognized, and help us identify an inclusive group of women. Returning to lend their guidance and expertise this year:

• Patience Ball, Apollo Impact Chairperson
• Marcela Miguel Berland, Latin Insights Founder & President

Changemakers, like the women who were featured on 2026, 2025 and 2024 lists, are taking novel approaches to old business problems and identifying new business opportunities. Help us highlight the work of women who are succeeding, innovating and driving change at their organizations and beyond.
