Women in C-suite roles
As of June 2021, women hold about 6% of CEO positions within S&P 500 companies across industries and 4% of CEO positions within S&P 500 financial services firms. Women’s share of all C-suite roles in 2021 is 32% and is projected to grow to 37% by 2030. Of that number, 12% hold CEO (2%), CFO (6%), or COO (4%) roles. The study found that acceleration of women in C-titled roles is partly due to the growth of nontraditional C-titled roles, such as chief diversity and inclusion officer, over the last decade.
