The numbers of female CEOs running Fortune 500 tech companies have sharply declined over the last five years.
Cloud talent creation firm Revolent added up some numbers and divided by its shoe size and found that only seven percent of CEOs of tech companies in 2016’s Fortune 500 identified as female. This fell to just 4.41 percent in 2021 – a 14 percent decrease during the five-year time frame.
The research also found that none of the female tech CEOs in either 2016’s or 2021’s Fortune 500 list were founders of their company.
