Survey methodology
The selection process takes into account a broad analysis covering different factors over the 12 months preceding publication, such as job creation, investments that triggered economic activity, greater influence and inspiration in various sectors such as finance, arts, sciences, sports and the greater representation of women leaders in underrepresented demographic groups. The work is carried out by the editorial team at Bloomberg Línea.
