Forbes, in partnership with Mika Brzezinski and her “Know Your
Value” initiative, today announced the global expansion of its 50
Over 50 list, which spotlights women over the age of 50 who are
leaving a positive and lasting impact on the world. Starting this
week, Forbes is taking nominations for two new lists: 50 Over 50
Asia and 50 Over 50 Europe. To nominate someone for one
of these lists, please go here.
The “50 Over 50” platform was developed in partnership with Mika
Brzezinski to shine a light on women over the age of 50 who have
achieved significant success later in life, often overcoming
formidable odds or barriers.
Earlier this year, Forbes and Know Your Value unveiled its
inaugural 50 Over 50 list, and that list soon expanded into
different lists showcasing how women are wielding their influence
in politics and social entrepreneurship, STEM and the arts,
finance, and beyond.
“What started as one list has grown very quickly, and now as we
look ahead, we see the opportunity to tell the stories of more
women around the world,” said Maggie McGrath, Editor,
ForbesWomen. “Though the geographies are different, what we’re
looking for remains the same: women who are actively stepping into
their power in their sixth decade and beyond. We’re looking for
stories about these women accelerating or recreating careers to
reach the highest echelons of a business or other fields after
turning 50—with an eye on women who have overcome significant
odds.”
“Our 50 Over 50 platform is shining a bright light on the women
who are rewriting the rules of success, shattering the prevailing
misconceptions about age and gender in the workforce, and inspiring
women — and men — through all stages of their careers,” said
Randall Lane, Chief Content Officer and Editor, Forbes. “We
hope the continued growth of this list will encourage more
conversations around age and gender diversity in business all
around the world, and ultimately make capitalism more inclusive for
all.”
“In sharing the stories of 50 incredible women over 50, we’re
providing a template to help women become better advocates for
themselves, express their own worth and share tangible, relatable
advice that supports all women,” said Mika Brzezinski,
founder of Know Your Value and co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe. “As
we widen the lens and expand our focus to women in Europe and Asia,
we look forward to spotlighting unheard stories of incredible
entrepreneurs who are overcoming the odds and making incredible
strides in business and beyond.”
