An award-winning magazine writer, interviewer and multimedia journalist, SellersEaston Media Co-CEO Pattie Sellers is a former assistant managing editor of Fortune and currently Chair of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit.
Pattie cofounded Fortune Most Powerful Women (MPW), which began in 1998 as an annual ranking of the top women in the business, and has grown to be the magazine’s largest and most valuable franchise. It is the preeminent gathering of women leaders in business, philanthropy, government, academia, and the arts. Pattie oversees six annual Fortune MPW conferences across the globe.
