Developed with @LeanIn.Org, McKinsey & Company‘s annual Women in the Workplace report is the largest study of women in corporate America.
The findings:
➡️ Entry level: 52% men & 47% women
➡️ Senior manager level: 64% men & 36% women
➡️ Senior VP level: 73% men & 28% women
Women represent roughly 1 in 4 C-suite leaders, and women of color just 1 in 16.
LinkedIn study shows:
➡️ Young women are especially ambitious: 9 in 10 women ages 30 and under want to be promoted to the next level, and 3 in 4 aspire to become senior leaders.
This International Women's Day let's Impact the Future.
Join @Shelmina Abji, author of SHOW YOUR WORTH, speaker and Former IBM, and myself for an insightful conversation.
We will have time for Q&A as well

Hosted By
Ralph Yozzo, GDG Organizer
Google Developer Organizer since 2009.
Google developer group organizer, NYC Community Education Council Member, Computer Developer of Transparency applications, Dems committee former blue check.
Developer of open government information sites such as https://prop.tidalforce.org/
Ralph was born in the computer age and grew up with a computer keyboard attached to his fingers. Ralph wrote one video game using a Radio Shack and a cassette tape drive and never wrote another game. The reason is that games are simply random number generated worlds that are a waste of the player's time.
Ralph continued to love computer programming to this day, many decades later. After careers at IBM, Goldman Sachs (criminals), NYNEX / Verizon, Consolidated Edison, many small startup etc. and then some finance / computer companies and some non profit companies (some of the most wasteful companies are non profits).

Ralph was blessed to be born near the Cuban Missile Crisis (when humanity was near the brink of self destruction) and then near Ralph's 50th year New York City was brought to it's knees when Hurricane Sandy showed New York City who is in control.
