Esi Eggleston Bracey, vice president and general manager, global cosmetics for Procter & Gamble, has been named to Black Enterprise’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Corporate America.
The final roster was culled from thousands of potential candidates across numerous industries, including the finance, pharmaceutical, and retail sectors. The final 50 have authority over budgets totaling billions of dollars and control subsidiaries, divisions, or departments that affect the fiscal health and direction of their businesses.
According to a 2014 Center for American Progress study, the percentage of women in top management positions and on corporate boards has stalled: Less than 9% of top managers are women, and women of color hold only 11.9% of managerial and professional posts with just 5.3% of African American women in those positions. Despite this wide gap within the executive suite, the 50 women identified by Black Enterprise are among a select group of corporate leaders who continue to raise and shatter the glass ceiling, according to the publication.
The list can be found in the February 2015 of the magazine.
