These are the industries where women are making the most C-suite progress (via CNBCMakeIt)
The business world suffers from massive, persistent gender gaps in leadership, but there is positive news about progress towards closing those gaps.of the Russell 3000 found accelerating growth of women in leadership roles. Growth of women in executive roles accelerated to an average 6.9% pace between 2016 and 2021, up from a 3.8% growth rate in the prior five years.
