We're gearing up for Silicon Valley Business Journal's 2013 Women of Influence, our premier publication and awards gala.
And here's a sneak peek at who made this year's list. On the slideshow, you'll see 100 influential women shaking up Silicon Valley – and in many cases the world.
You'll get the names here, but be sure to check out our special Women of Influence publication in our April 5 issue, where you'll find out who they are.
You'll learn what their biggest workplace accomplishments have been, their five-year goals, and even some of their biggest "whoops." You’ll find out who has been inducted into the Biotech Hall of Fame and which CEO lived under a plastic tarp in a Malaysian refugee camp for one year before immigrating to the U.S.
Also fun to know? Out of our 100, 17 are founders and C-level execs.
What are their industries?

• 21 are in tech
• 14 are in the nonprofit sector
• 14 are lawyers
• 12 are in the healthcare field
• 8 are in education

Who are their heroes?

• Steve Jobs
• Richard Branson
• Parents/spouse
