#13 Mary Meeker

Rank 84

General Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers

Meeker has been holding court in Silicon Valley for nearly two decades now. In 2011 the famed Morgan Stanley analyst became a partner at Kleiner Perkins, Caufield & Byers. This step, which she took, landed her at No. 42 on FORBES 2012 Midas List of VC royalty. But it is her reputation for a clear vision in the tech industry that makes her a Power Woman. She earned the title of “The Queen of the Net” when she wrote "The Internet Report" in 1995. More lately her 2012 Internet Trend Report put just about every industry on alert. Her persuasive argument urged leaders to re-imagine nearly everything about their businesses in no uncertain terms from advertising, to mobile to media consumption. Meeker serves on the board of Square and is involved in KPCB's investments in Twitter, Groupon, Spotify, Jawbone and One King's Lane.
