Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Former F1 driver Susie Wolff is bringing more women into the sport, Naomi Watts sells her menopause-centered skin care line, and Fortune opens nominations for its annual Most Powerful Women list. Have a terrific Tuesday!

– ‘Tis the season. The start of summer at Fortune means we’re gearing up to bring you this year’s Most Powerful Women list. 

Recommended Video

Our annual ranking of the most powerful CEOs, executives, and founders will publish this fall, and like last year, it will be a comprehensive list of 100 women from around the world. As we consider contenders for this year’s ranking, we want to hear from you, Broadsheet readers: Which executives should appear on the 2024 MPW list? 

Last year’s line-up is a good guide for the types of executives who land in this exclusive club. Our 2023 No. 1 was CVS chief Karen Lynch, who leads the health care giant that pulled in $357 billion in revenue last year. The list included newcomers like JD.com CEO Sandy Ran Xu (No. 15), Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle (No. 36), and X CEO Linda Yaccarino (No. 58). The list also highlights non-CEOs whose titles alone may not reflect their influence and importance, like SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell (No. 54) and OpenAI CTO Mira Murati (No. 57). The ranking is a chance to take inventory of women’s still-underrepresented role in Big Business and spotlight executives who are running some of the world’s largest companies. 

This will be Fortune’s 27th annual MPW list, but, as always, we’re eager to discover new executives who should be on our radar. To that end, we’ll be accepting nominations for this year’s ranking from now until Aug. 2. Please email the following information to MPW2024@fortune.com. 

—The executive’s name, title, to whom she reports, her responsibilities, and how many employees she oversees
—What country she’s based in
—The candidate’s bio, including corporate boards or boards of other influential organizations
—Specific accomplishments from the past year
—The company’s annual revenue and profit
—If the candidate is the head of a division, the division’s annual revenue and income
—A description of how the candidate has, in a professional context, used her power to advance the interests of employees, the community, or society at large. (Examples might include: creating a program or business unit that serves a disadvantaged population, measurably reducing the company’s carbon footprint, or creating new hiring pipelines that have resulted in a more diverse workforce.)

Please send the above in no more than 750 words—again, that’s by Friday, Aug. 2 to MPW2024@fortune.com.

ALSO IN THE HEADLINES

​​- The right track. Former Formula 1 driver Susie Wolff joined Fortune to discuss the F1 Academy, a development group for women drivers where Wolff serves as managing director. Wolff said that removing intense financial barriers and providing adequate support means the next female F1 driver could be just five years away. Fortune

- Star and Stripes. Private equity firm L Catterton agreed to acquire Stripes, a line of beauty and care products founded by actress Naomi Watts and made specifically for menopausal women. Watts will stay with the company and help take it international as she chases her mission of normalizing menopause. Wall Street Journal

- Meno-pause. In related news, researchers want to funnel $100 million in White House funding for women’s health into research on how delaying menopause can delay the onset of age-related diseases. New York Times

- Digging out. Female voices in the mining industry say that wider conservative pushback against DEI initiatives is threatening gender equality progress in the male-dominated industry. Rooting out sexist cultures and rebranding the industry as tech-driven, however, could change the tide and bring more interest from younger women. Financial Times

- Getting political. Planned Parenthood announced that it will spend $40 million on swing state political races ahead of the election in November. The reproductive rights nonprofit said it plans to target eight states including Arizona and Georgia. Time

PARTING WORDS
