There is no generally accepted answer to this.

The goddess Freyja picks the valkyries, but she is not one herself nor does she typically command them. Their service is to Odin.

Among the valkyries themselves, most sources name no specific leader, but a few, such as the Volsunga Saga, single out Brynhild as such.
