The Czech division of Forbes has released a new list of Czechia’s most influential women, encompassing successful businesswomen, CEOs, politicians, philanthropists, and social media influencers.
The ranking is not a public poll, Forbes CZ says, but calculated by a “precise methodology” that focuses on how big an impact these Czech women have on society.
This includes aspects such as their economic performance (for example, how much money they have control over), the number of employees they oversee, and the potential power of their decision-making (such as in the political or legal spheres).
For example, Lenka Bradáčová – the chief prosecutor of the High Prosecutor's Office in Prague – features in the top five most influential Czech women. Minister of Defense Jana Černochová, labeled in Forbes' list as the "most prominent and influential woman in the current Czech government" makes the top 15.
Industry experts and insiders collaborated on the 195-person ranking – the largest ever – for several months.
