It's been a couple of groundbreaking years for women in business. IBM appointed its first female CEO with Ginni Rometty. Sheryl Sandberg led Facebook through a much-anticipated IPO.

Together with her is Mallory Loone who will be representing her role as the National Project Director of the Junior World Entrepreneurship Forum.
