CWDI Report :

Impact of Women CEOs
on Women's Access to Corporate Board Seats
and the C-Suite
 


Ms. Irene Natividad
CWDI Co-Chair


 “These findings answer the question of whether it matters if a woman is in charge,” states CWDI Chair Irene Natividad.  “Clearly women CEOs are far more likely to bring in other women to corporate leadership roles.  It is unfortunate, however, that there are so few of them in both the US and Canada,” she adds.
