“Forbes Asia’s Power Businesswomen list this year spotlights 20 executives, entrepreneurs and family business members steering their companies through industry challenges and economic uncertainties,” list editor Rana Wehbe Watson said Megaworld president Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso has been named as one of 20 exceptional female leaders in Asia by Forbes.
Gutierrez-Alfonso, Megaworld’s former chief operating officer who became president back in June, is only Filipina in 2024 Asia’s Power Businesswomen list of Forbes.

Forbes said women leaders in this year’s list were selected for their achievements and proven track records.
They also represent new generation of business leaders who are ready to face any difficulties head-on, Forbes said.
“From leading property developers and financial institutions to innovating in EVs and manufacturing, they are instilling bold strategies and renewed sense of optimism in industries across the region,” she said.
