It’s the tenacity and willpower of everyday women leaders that power our progress. We see you in the boardrooms, in the C-Suite, in the halls of government and academia. The fact is . . . we see your will to lead.
In this holiday issue of Career Mastered Magazine, we celebrate extraordinary women leaders who have taken a seat at the table and who are making a pathway for others to join them.
According to the 2022 Women in the Boardroom: A Global Perspective report released by Deloitte Global, women hold 19.7 % of board seats globally, a 2.8 % increase from 2019. However, only 6.7 % of board chairs are women, representing just a 1.4 increase from 2018.
Our cover story is a tale of heart and grit from women on boards.
Breen Sullivan and Katrin de Haën, the founders of The Fourth Floor are making waves to level out the playing field for women in the workforce. Their company has created a ‘Back Room’ for founders, woman-led funds, angels, and limited partners to encourage women to invest in each other and open their boards and capital. Cindy Burrell, Founder and President of Diversity in Boardrooms, is an example of a bold voice in the modern day advocating for change and creating opportunities for the change she wishes to see on the leadership level.
In addition, Career Mastered had the opportunity to speak with Meghan Juday, Chairman of the Board, Ideal Industries, Roberta Sydney, Independent Board Member, and Venita Fields, General Partner, S2K Pelham LLC.
