They run health care and biotech and manufacturing and real estate companies. Retail giants, law firms, universities and colleges, financial institutions, and more. They’re the women power players of the Bay State, responsible for thousands of employees and billions in revenue, driving the Massachusetts economy. Meet them in the 2024 installment of this list, created by The Women’s Edge and published annually in the Women & Power issue of the Globe Magazine.

Taken together, the 100 companies on this list represent a total revenue and operating budget of $124 billion — to be precise, $124,497,372,685.75. (We couldn’t help noticing: That’s a 48 percent increase over last year’s figures.)

How this list was created: For each organization, The Women’s Edge, a nonprofit that supports female business leaders, examined 2023 revenue or operating budget as well as other variables, including number of full-time employees in the state, workplace and management diversity, and innovative projects. The Women’s Edge then ranked organizations according to its own formula. This is the 24th year that The Women’s Edge has created the list and the 12th year that the Globe Magazine has partnered with the group.
