Women in Sales and Demandbase are proud to partner for the fourth year of our 100 Powerful Women in Sales list. This list celebrates women at every career level—from SDR to C-suite—who are making a significant impact. We received more than 1,000 nominations and carefully reviewed each one to curate our 2025 list.

List Methodology

When developing this list of all-star women, it’s not simply who has the most followers. While reach, specifically on LinkedIn, is important, a variety of other criteria go into such a ranking, including:

  • Sharing contextual updates: Whether it’s publishing unique on-topic content or it’s reposting content with additional context, the content needs to be beneficial to their audience. Simply reposting company content isn’t enough.
  • Engagement with sales-focused content: If you’re turning to someone for inspiration, they should be actively engaged with the broader community. Interacting with content –– both passively and actively –– with likes, and thoughtful comments is imperative.
  • Audience resonance: When these women publish content, are their audiences actively engaging with it? Is it resonating? How about when they comment on other people’s content? Their content –– whether on their profile or when they engage with others’ content –– should resonate with these audiences.
  • Diversity: We are careful to ensure that we have a diverse representation of those individuals whom we highlight. This isn’t limited to those that we name to the list; it’s also important to ensure that they’re involved in conversations with a diverse group of people.

With that, we present this year’s 100 Powerful Women in Sales:
