Consumer Goods' 10 Most Powerful Women

Fortune's "Most Powerful Women 2016" list features 51 amazing women, including ten notable females from the consumer goods industry. These are the women currently building billion-dollar brands, as well as much more. Indra Nooyi, CEO and Chairman, PepsiCo, was No. 2 on the list, making her the first woman in consumer goods to make the cut.

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 and social and cultural influence.

There are 22 CEOs on this year's list who together control $1.1 trillion in market capitalization. Beyonc (No. 51) is the youngest person on the list at 35, followed by Amy Hood (No. 31), CFO of Microsoft, at 44.
