I was shocked when I learned that it would take 99.5 years to eliminate global gender equality at the current rate of progress.
We discuss ways they are working to bridge the gap between gender pay equity and leadership roles.
Moreover, I was fascinated to hear about Shelley’s journey through corporate America and how she has been a pioneer in so many fields. Her philosophies on life resonated with me deeply.

About The Female Quotient:
The Female Quotient taps into the power of the collective to advance equality. Through our portfolio, we bring visibility to the invisible, create actions and accountability for change, and help companies close the gaps across a parity, pipeline, and policy. Together with our partners, we are adding more women to every equation, from college campuses to the corner office, across sectors and industries.
Through our work, we tackle three fundamental, persistent challenges to parity:
• Gender inequalities still exist — and, in many cases, are getting worse.
• Women in business lack a community and a platform to raise their visibility.
• Organizations lack effective ways to close their equality gaps and engage the best talent.
