Where are the women CEOs?
8:18 PM February 22, 2009
I really love Susan Solovic's, (CEO of SBTV.com) blog on the Huffington Post. I am a huge fan of hers - she is an astute business owner, tuned in more than anyone I know to small business, and full of incredible common sense and advice. And, she is a national founding partner of WIPP, and Chair of WIPP's Executive Advisory Board.
SBTV.com was honored to be one of 10 firms that represent the next wave of groundbreaking technology. No doubt about that - SBTV is one of the most creative and extraordinary commmunicators found on the web today, and I was thrilled to see them achieve this recognition.
As is usually the case, though, Susan took the opportunity to raise an important issue - SBTV.com was the only company led by a female CEO. While women have made remarkable achievements and experienced great successes, they still have yet to achieve parity - particularly in the high tech industry. We're gaining ground, slowly - just not fast enough. While women are frequent and experienced users of technology - they are not leading the companies that are breaking ground.
It is time to change that. What can we do to make that happen? How can we help women move to the next level in high tech?
