BOSTON, MA, November 1, 2024 – Longfellow Investment Management Co., LLC (LIM) is honored to be recognized as one of the top 100 women-led businesses in Massachusetts for the fifth time. The Women’s Edge and its partner The Boston Globe hosted a breakfast this morning to recognize and celebrate the 100 organizations.

“These 100 exceptional leaders, and the companies they run, are at the heart of the Massachusetts economy,” said Globe Magazine editor Francis Storrs. “We’re delighted to highlight their inspiration and impact through our longtime partnership with The Women’s Edge.”

Demonstrating that women leaders continue to be key drivers of the state’s economy, these 100 organizations generated over $124 billion in total revenue in 2023 across a diverse group of industries, a staggering increase of $40 billion from the $84 billion in 2022.

A driving force in the Massachusetts economy, these organizations serve the financial needs of individuals and institutions and lead innovations across the country, from increased manufacturing capacity to breakthroughs in clinical care and therapeutics.

“This is an impressive list of organizations, and we are pleased to see diverse leadership in so many industries across the Commonwealth,” said Barbara McKenna, president of LIM. “I am delighted that LIM is once again recognized as one of the Top 100 women-led businesses.”

This is the 24th year that The Women’s Edge has created this list through a nomination process and the 12th year they have partnered with The Boston Globe. Factors considered when creating the list include diversity in the workplace and management, board makeup, and innovative projects, in addition to revenue or operating budget.
