Female CEOs
Female CEOs are women who hold the highest executive position in a company, responsible for making major corporate decisions and managing overall operations. Their presence in leadership roles has been increasing, reflecting a broader push for gender equality in the workplace. Companies with female CEOs often benefit from diverse perspectives, which can lead to improved performance and innovation.
Despite progress, female CEOs still represent a small percentage of top executives globally. Organizations like Catalyst and McKinsey have conducted research highlighting the challenges women face in reaching these positions, including biases and a lack of mentorship. Efforts continue to promote more women into leadership roles across various industries.
