Archer Daniels Midland Company

Women CEOs Appoint More Women to the Top
3 women Fortune 500 CEOs added more women to their Executive Committees.
Xerox appointed 1 more female executive. Sunoco and Pepsico appointed 1 more women to their board.
7 of the women-run companies have at least 4 women executives at the top. Xerox, under the joint female leadership of Anne Mulcahy (Chairman) and Ursula Burns (CEO), now has 9 women on the Executive Committee. Western Union, under Christina Gold, has 6 female executives.
But Some Have Fallen Back
Rite Aid and Sara Lee, however, have both lost their CEOs, Mary Sammons (Rite Aid) and Brenda Barnes (Sara Lee), although both women remain on their Executive Committee and Board, leaving only the CEOs Indra Nooyi and Carol Meyrowitz as the sole women on their executive committee in both cases.

Fortune's Top 50
Women in Business
List Can Be Sorted by Money, Region, Even Age
Technically, this list is not a top-paid roster of women in business, but since it is organized by earnings, the distinction is fine. But here we have women from all over the world, if mainly the English-speaking parts of it, who have both the titles and the riches to claim real power in business.
