In aerospace, Generis, generis group, leadership by Alicia CheungLeave a Comment

Women make up more than half of America’s workforce, but when it comes to securing leadership positions at top companies, they’re greatly outnumbered. When Forbes released their Fortune 500 list in 2017, the number of female CEOs reached an all-time high of 32. In June 2018, that number slid down to 24 – just 5% of the list.

Chief Executive Indra Nooyi stepped down from her role, leaving the number of top-level Fortune 500 women at a mere two dozen.

Are you struggling with finding a fully validated Requirements Management Tool?

In Generis, generis group, Life sciences, manufacturing, manufacturing operations, medical device, medtech, mfg, Uncategorized by GenerisLeave a Comment
