I recently attended a press event and noticed that men far outweighed women at the event, and according to a new report, that applies at the leadership level, too. The research from the talent acquisition company Tenth Revolution Group was sent to Lifewire via email and shows that between 2021 and 2024, the average percentage of women and non-binary people in C-suite leadership roles (specifically CIOs and CTOs) in NASDAQ-100 tech companies was only 15 percent. Now, that's based on four years of figures, during which there was a slight bump in 2022 when women held 17 percent of those C-Suite positions. In the remaining years (2021, 2023, and 2024), women held only 14 percent of those positions.
