The number of women running Fortune 500 companies has hit a new record, according to this year's Fortune 500 list. Currently, there are 37 women leading Fortune 500 firms, an increase from last year's 33 women, which at the time, was a record high. 

This new addition of women is the result of several #leadership changes in companies that previously made the list, in which women have taken over from a male predecessor, as well as companies passing the $5.7 billion revenue threshold to make the list this year, reports Fortune.

Of the 37 women CEOs, seven made the list for the first time. Newcomers include former Home Depot executive Carole Tome, who will become the new CEO of UPS on June 1; veteran health executive Heyward Donigan who became the CEO of Rite Aid in August 2019; former Old Navy chief Sonia Syngal who became Gap Inc.'s CEO in March 2020; Kristin C. Peck who became CEO of the animal health company Zoetis in January 2020; and Jennifer Johnson who took over her family's investment management company, Franklin Resources, from her brother in February 2020. 

Barbara R. Smith, CEO of materials company Commercial Metals, and Nazzic S. Keene, CEO of information technology company Science Applications International, made the list for the first time after bringing in a company revenue of $5.8 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively.

A few familiar names like IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson and KeyCorp CEO Beth Mooney are no longer on the list after announcing they will be stepping down from their roles this year.
