Record Number of Women and Black CEOs on Fortune 500, But Progress Still Needed

Women now run 10.4% of companies on the Fortune 500, up from 6.4% in 2019. This year, 52 companies out of 500 are led by female CEOs, with 12 CEOs hired within the past year. The rise of female CEOs signals an understanding among companies and boards that female and diverse leaders are an asset at this particular moment. However, few women of color lead Fortune 500 companies. With the right attention to the CEO pipeline, the Fortune 500 could "double that percentage" of female CEOs from 10% to 20% in three to five years.

Assessing Linda Yaccarino's Leadership as Twitter's New CEO.

Linda Yaccarino, the new CEO of Twitter, is facing the challenge of turning around the struggling social media platform.

Despite the risks, Yaccarino's background in advertising makes her a logical choice to try to salvage Twitter's crumbling business. However, women in these types of roles are often blamed for the crisis and replaced by a white male CEO. Yaccarino's success will depend on the support of the board and Elon Musk's willingness to let go of the reins.
