50 Most Powerful Women

3 of 50

3. Pat Woertz

Chairman, President, and CEO
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)

2007 rank: 6
Age: 55

Doubts about ethanol and higher corn costs pushed ADM's stock down 28% over the past year. Still, Woertz's $70 billion "supermarket to the world" ranks ahead of giants like PepsiCo and Intel on the Fortune 500. And according to analysts, conditions aren't nearly as poor as the stock price indicates.
