Women have been making waves in the business world for decades, breaking barriers, leading global companies, and reshaping industries with their vision, grit, and innovation. From tech giants to retail empires, women continue to prove that leadership knows no gender.
In Australia, Melanie Perkins, co-founder and CEO of Canva, stands as a shining example of female entrepreneurial success. Starting her journey from her mother’s living room in Perth, Melanie set out to make design accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level. Today, Canva is a global design platform valued at billions, and it is used by individuals, small businesses, and large organisations worldwide. What sets Melanie apart isn’t just her business acumen—it’s her commitment to empowering others and building a company culture focused on collaboration, creativity, and positive impact.
Globally, other female leaders have also left an indelible mark. Mary Barra, the CEO of General Motors, became the first woman to lead a major global automaker, guiding the company through innovation in electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies. Indra Nooyi, the former CEO of PepsiCo, not only grew the company’s revenue by over 80% during her tenure but also led transformative health and sustainability initiatives. Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey, a household name across the world, built a media empire from the ground up, using her platform to uplift others and champion important social causes.
