After reading Forbes‘ list of 100 Most Innovative People in Business and finding one woman—one out of 100, that’s right, ONE— we found ourselves thinking of all the women we work with every day who should’ve made the list 100 times over. 

We read a list on Linkedin of the other 99 women who should have made the list and we thought we’d make one too…since there’s plenty of innovative women to go around. In addition to Linkedin’s 99 Innovative Women in Business, we present 98 More Innovative Women in Business.
