Now and then, a girl boss comes along that ruffles some feathers in the best way possible. Jill Abramson was the first female executive editor at The New York Times, making history from 2011-2014. In 2012, Forbes included her on their list of most powerful women.
Jill is an incredible journalist, flipping the script on what it means to be a woman in a male-dominated industry. Her credits include The Wall Street Journal, The American Lawyer, and most recently, The Guardian US. A few years ago a POLITICO article slammed her management style, but she didn’t let it get her down.
