Fortune 500 Women CEOs

Only 60 women throughout history have shattered the ultimate glass ceiling and ran the board room at a Fortune 500 Company.

That’s less than an average of 2% and today, only 6.4% of such corporations are run by female CEOs.

Starting in 1972, we examined every female-run Fortune 500 company to see how much progress in female leadership is being made across Fortune 500 companies. While there has been impressive strides made in the last decade (32 female CEO’s named since 2010) the disparity between male and female CEO’s is still too large.

Take a look at the analysis and infographic below that we compiled for further information.
