Are more women nowadays becoming chief financial officers?
I don’t have industry-wide statistics, but my personal experience is that finance functions seem to be heavily male-dominated. One of the objectives of Women in Finance is to increase the number of women, and certainly the number of women of color, who can compete successfully for chief financial officer, chief investment officer, chief risk officer, and other important financial or technical roles. I believe strongly that all of us women have a responsibility to encourage and support other women who have entered, or are considering entering, the financial field.
