SIA Annual List Recognizes Women Shaping the Industry
Mountain View, California — November 17, 2020 — Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, has announced the Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list for 2020. In its sixth year, this annual list recognizes women for their excellence as leaders and influencers in the global talent marketplace. The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list is sponsored by Bullhorn.
The Global Power 150 list is not a ranking but a way to recognize women in leadership positions and to increase visibility for the important contributions women have made across the industry. From CEOs and entrepreneurs to division heads, technologists, workforce specialists, operational experts and legal professionals, this year’s honorees have helped to shape a $498 billion global staffing industry while paving the way for a more equitable future of work. The 2020 list includes 54 women who are being named to the list for the first time and spotlights many women for their roles in advancing digital/tech agendas, initiatives and processes that enhance and strengthen their businesses as well as ecosystem.
“The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing 2020 are redefining leadership in their decisions, their compassion and their service to their teams and communities,” said Subadhra Sriram, Editor & Publisher, Media Products at SIA. “In a year rife with disruption and with ripple effects disproportionally impacting women and communities of color, this year’s honorees are steadfast in their commitments to diversity and to building resilient and inclusive organizations as they take their businesses, and the ecosystem, forward.”
“We're proud to have Bullhorn support the SIA Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list once again," said Art Papas, Founder and CEO of Bullhorn. "McKinsey research found that, following the fallout of the pandemic, more than one in four women are contemplating downsizing their careers or leaving the workforce completely. It's important to us that we help highlight, celebrate and promote women in our industry, and create role models for others."
The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing website debuts the full 2020 list this week, showcasing these inspiring leaders and the impact they have on the industry. Profiles of the Americas 100 are also featured in the November/December 2020 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.

WBC CEO, Edie Fraser joins WBC Board member and CEO, CEO Forum, Robert Reiss to discuss the origins of WBC and Edie's vision for the future.
"We started by thinking big. What if we could build a collaboration of women business organizations and together drive change? What if we could become a movement to advance and accelerate business women as senior executives, as successful entrepreneurs and board members as well as venture capitalists? The thought – and challenge – was so exciting to me, and the truth is it is much needed. We need to change the way C-suites and boardrooms look, and that change is long past due. We devised WBC to be a movement and an accelerator of change because we know the importance of diversity." –Edie Fraser
