Johanna Sigurdardottir
Prime minister
Iceland
Elected to office in February after former Prime Minister Geir Haarde became the first world leader to leave office as a direct result of the global financial crisis.

Working vigorously to fix the broken banking system, she promoted entry into the European Union as one solution.

Christina Gold
Chief executive, Western Union
U.S.
Like other chief executives in the finance industry, Gold has had to contend with the prolonged weakness of the global economy. Western Union, which she has headed since 2002, saw its second-quarter revenues fall 7% over the same period last year. But Gold has continued to expand the company's services; she recently introduced a way for global consumers to remit money on their mobile devices. This summer, Western Union won a protracted legal battle when the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the state's attorney general had overstepped his authority by seeking to seize payments of more than $500 to residents of Sonora, Mexico. Despite Western Union's reliance on low-income immigrants who remit payments to poorer relatives in developing countries, Gold expects to meet earnings and revenue expectations for the year. Thanks to the company's low costs, analysts think she has a good chance of being right.

Chairman, Hyundai Group

Hyun believes that focus on sales, infrastructure, cost reductions and future dealings with North Korea will make the Hyundai Group the 13th largest Korean firm by 2012. She also prides herself on skills outside the office, saying she enjoys making pasta and cheese fondue.
