World's Most Powerful Women (81-90)

Amy Schulman
Senior vice president, Pfizer
U.S.
As the general counsel of the world's largest research-based pharmaceutical company, Amy Schulman has her hands full. In her first year on the job, Schulman protected patents and battled copyright infringements from such companies as Canadian drug maker Novapharm Ltd. (Novapharm tried to introduce a generic Viagra to the market even though Pfizer's patent doesn't expire until 2014.) Prior to taking the lead on Pfizer's legal team, Schulman was a partner at the law firm DLA Piper. Beyond her work as a litigator, Schulman puts her rainmaker skills to work for the cause of women's advancement, not just in the legal field but in the pharmaceutical arena as well.

Penny Pritzker
Chairman, Classic Residence by Hyatt
U.S.
Grandchild of celebrated Chicago patriarch Abraham N. Pritzker, builder of industrial conglomerate Marmon and the Hyatt Hotel chain. One of the most active of the Pritzker grandchildren, the Harvard-trained attorney helped oversee the family's vast portfolio of investments. As Abraham's heirs couldn't agree on who in the family would control the fortune, the Pritzker empire is being carved up 11 ways. Sold minority stake in Hyatt to private equity firm Madrone Capital (owned by the Walton heirs) and Goldman Sachs for $1 billion in August 2007, and a 60% stake in Marmon to Warren Buffett's Bershire Hathaway for $4.5 billion in December 2007. Berkshire will buy the remainder of the company by 2014. At 50, Penny now chairs four major corporations, including TransUnion, Classic Residence by Hyatt, The Parking Spot and Pritzker Realty and is active in civic and philanthropic pursuits. Also heavily involved in politics: served as Obama's national finance chair and helped run the Presidential Inaugural Committee. Now on president's Economic Recovery Board; also involved with Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics.

Drew Faust
President, Harvard University
U.S.
With an expected loss of 30% of its endowment's value, Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust has the tough job of navigating a major university through difficult economic times. Faust recently announced the layoff of 275 staff members. The prestigious university is also denying raises to 9,000 faculty and non-union staff, and Harvard has offered early retirement to approximately 1,600 staff members. Despite these unfortunate announcements, Faust did oversee the establishment of the first professorship for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies in the U.S. this past year. Her book This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War made The New York Times' "10 Best Books of 2008" and was a National Book Award finalist.

Melanie Healey
Group president, Feminine&Health Care, Procter&Gamble
U.S.
The Brazilian native made a name for herself heading up Procter and Gamble's feminine care division, including the Always and Tampax brands. Introduced edgy campaigns to de-euphemize menstrual products; Web site BeingGirl.com won a Gold Lion at Cannes in 2004. One of P&G's few leaders from outside the fold; she began her career at competitors SC Johnson and Johnson&Johnson. Healey rose to group president of feminine and health care in 2007 in a company-wide shakeup to streamline P&G's global operations. Since then, her group's stock has climbed 17.5%.

Elizabeth Smith
President, Avon
U.S.
Smith joined Avon in January 2005 as president of global brand. Prior to this, she spent 14 years at Kraft Foods, where she most recently she served as group VP and president of the U.S. beverages and grocery sectors, overseeing a total of $6 billion in sales. At Kraft, Smith oversaw the revitilization of Jello (for which there's "always room," as the slogan goes) and made minty Altoids a leading brand. She began her career as a financial analyst at Paine Webber. University of Virginia grad holds an M.B.A. from Stanford.

Deb Henretta
Group president, Asia, Procter & Gamble
Singapore
Henretta runs a division of P&G that pulled in $14 billion in revenues last year and reaches 1.25 billion Asian consumers. Recently, Henretta spearheaded the opening of a fragrance factory in Singapore. The factory will make over 20 fragrances for P&G brands including Pantene, Head and Shoulders, Olay, Tide and Downy. In 2009, the U.S. government appointed her as one of three American representatives to serve on the business advisory council for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation. Henretta is one of just five female advisory members across the 60-plus member council, and was recently re-elected for a second term as a board member of the Singapore Economic Development Board.

Ann Moore
Chief executive, Time Inc.
U.S.
It's a tough time to be a media titan. Last year, Time Inc.'s revenues fell 7% to $4.6 billion and the company posted an operating loss. Latest victim of the downturn: Southern Accents. Time shuttered the 32 year-old Southern luxury lifestyle magazine in July. Moore recently inked a new contract extending her term as chief executive and chair until 2012. She gave heir apparent John Squires a tough assignment: to figure out a new business plan for the future. Dubbed "Queen Ann" by insiders, Moore defiantly called for a mass reduction in BlackBerry usage among company execs. This May, Time finally announced that it would spin off AOL.

Sallie Krawcheck
Chief executive global wealth management, Bank of America
U.S.
When banks on Wall Street have a mess, they often turn to the woman known as "Mrs. Clean" to fix it. Now Bank of America has become the latest financial house to hire Sallie Krawcheck, who left Citigroup last fall after serving as chief financial officer and head of wealth management there. Krawcheck made her name while running Sanford C. Bernstein, where she emerged as a champion of securities research untainted by conflicts of interest. Now she'll run the global wealth management division of Bank of America, a giant unit now that the bank has absorbed Merrill Lynch. It's a controversial posting: B of A just settled SEC charges over bonuses it paid to Merrill employees after the merger. Among other board positions, Krawcheck sits on the board of her alma mater, Columbia Business School.

Pamela Nicholson
President, Enterprise Rent-A-Car
U.S.
Nicholson may be the first woman and non-family member to take the wheel of Enterprise Rent-a-Car, but the 30-year veteran is a long-haul driver: she joined the company straight out of college, worked with her predecessor, Andrew Taylor, for two decades and has served as a mentor to founder Jack Taylor's granddaughters, who are also climbing the ranks in the family business. Nicholson made a name for herself in the late '90s by turning around Enterprise's troubled New York operation. She then kick-started the fledgling California group, taking it from a 1,000-car operation to a fleet of nearly 30,000. Now she's president and chief operating officer.

Janice Fields
Chief operating officer, McDonald's USA
U.S.
Under Fields, McDonald's sales are holding strong. In the U.S., 2009 comparable sales have risen 4.5%. The company attributes the growth in part to the new line of espresso and specialty coffee drinks she championed last year, though currency volatility overseas is hurting global sales. Fields began at McDonald's in 1978 at age 22 as a crew member; now she oversees operations of almost 14,000 restaurants. She also serves on the boards of Monsanto, the Chicago Urban League and United Cerebral Palsy, and chairs the advisory board of nonprofit group Catalyst.
