Just 3% of Fortune 500 companies are currently run by women, and, women hold fewer than 1 in 5 positions in upper management at these corporations.
Where do women fit in the changing world of business and technology? What do women bring to innovation in these sectors? And why is it that, in this day and age, the balance at the top of these fields is still so unequal?
We get insights from:
-
Marissa Mayer, vice president of location, local services, Google
-
Liz Claman, anchor, Fox Business Network
-
Jennifer Siebel Newsom, filmmaker, Miss Representation
A Look by the Numbers
We ask a research expert to delve into the data. Who is happiest at work? How is balance acheived? Where can improvements be made?
We hear from:
Scott Marden, research director, Captivate Network
