HELEN
BARBOUR Vice chairman Barbour UK
SIMONE
BAGEL-TRAH Chairman of the Supervisory Board Henkel Germany
Bagel-Trah took over as chairman of the consumer goods company, which produces household names like Persil, Schwarzkopf, and Loctite, in 2009 after succeeding Albrecht Woeste. The appointment was lauded as Bagel-Trah was the first woman to chair a top German company. She is the great-great granddaughter of the company founder and fifth generation of the Henkel family to oversee the running of the business. Since her appointment, the company has grown into a $23.2 billion global revenue company with about 53,000 full time employees.
Barbour was two- years-old when her managing director father, John Barbour, died suddenly in 1968 and her mother, Dame Margaret, became a director. Now vice chairman, Helen worked with Margaret to establish the Women’s Fund in 1999 to support women in England’s North-East, where the fifth- generation firm still manufactures its signature wax jackets. Mother and daughter are also trustees of the Barbour Foundation, which bolstered its relationship with The Prince’s Trust by donating to the trust’s Enterprise Programme, supporting young entrepreneurs.
CHARLENE DE CARVALHO- HEINEKEN
Executive director Heineken Netherlands
ANA BOTÍN Executive director Santander Group Spain
Fourth-generation BotÍn succeeded her father, Emilio, as chair of the Spanish bank after his sudden death in 2014. Prior to the appointment, she became the first woman to run a major British bank when she took over as chief executive of Santander UK in 2010. She pulled off a coup in 2017 when Banco Santander acquired failing banking group Banco Popular for a symbolic €1 ($1.10) to become one of Spain’s largest banks. Santander posted revenues of $56.2 billion in 2018.
De Carvalho- Heineken is one of the richest women in the world, thanks to the 23% controlling stake in beer giant Heineken she inherited from her late father, long-time chief executive Freddy Heineken in 2002. Under her ownership, the world’s second- largest brewer has expanded into a $30.3 billion revenue making business, dealing with changing consumer tastes by acquiring craft-beer makers, and venturing into new product categories, including zero alcohol beer and cannabis-infused seltzer water sold by one of its recent acquisitions, Lagunitas Brewing Company.
MARIE- CHRISTINE COISNE-
ROQUETTE Chairman and chief executive Sonepar France
Fifth-generation Coisne-Roquette, a trained lawyer and great granddaughter of Sonepar co- founder Henri Coisne, has served as chairman since 1998 and was chief executive from 2002 to 2017. Since then, the independent family-owned group has transformed into a global leader in electrical equipment distribution, recording sales of $25.2 billion in 2018.
