Last week, one of my colleagues stumbled across a list of marketing influencers and shared it in our team’s Slack channel. It didn’t take long for someone to comment that barely one-fourth of the experts featured in the article were women.

These types of influencer round-ups are all over the web, but very few of them highlight more than a small handful of female leaders. This lack of inclusion is nothing new, but it got us thinking: Why not put together a list of awesome female influencers to inspire future, more inclusive round-up posts?

So here it is: a list of powerful influencers in the growth and marketing space who just so happen to be women. We hope this inspires you to recognize more women in your influencer posts, and expand your social networks beyond the expected sphere of male founders.

Before we jump in, it’s important to note that this list is by no means exhaustive. These influencers were suggested by members of our team, and we encourage you to keep the conversation going on Twitter. Tweet at us to share a female leader — big or small — who inspires you.
