According to Peterson Institute for International Economics, executive
teams with one woman member see a 15 percent boost to profitability.
And yet, in the world’s 500 largest companies, only 11% have a woman
in exec leadership.
While esteemed research is great, how is this affecting companies in
real-life? And specifically, in central Texas. We know that change
starts from the top, so we've gathered male and female leaders in the
Austin community to speak on:
* Quantitative and qualitative results from building a diverse team
* Why the gender leadership gap and why are companies resisting
making a change?
* What insight should we share with current (white male) leaders to
motivate them to build a gender-diverse team?
* How do you take baby-steps to create a more diverse workforce?
PANELISTS:
* Harold Hughes is the Founder and CEO of BandwagonFanClub, Inc. He
is a Clemson University alumnus and takes pride in his role as a
contributor and supporter in the startup ecosystem as he serves as a
mentor for founders (primarily Black founders and women) while also
being transparent about his own journey.
