Investors are increasingly investing in initial public offerings, yielding new companies like FIG, BLSH, and STUB. However, analysis shows a significant lack of women in leadership roles among these new public companies. Nearly 88% of firms had only one or no women on their boards, and 93% had only one or no women in their C-suite. The findings suggest a decline in diversity-oriented practices, particularly in the tech sector, leading to concerns about future losses for executive women in these markets.
Nearly 88% of firms that filed IPO-related documents in August had only one or no women on their boards, while 93% had only one or no women in their C-suite.
Only seven of the 61 companies examined had two or more women on their boards, resulting in women representing only 12% of directors and 11% of executives.
