Women face multiple workplace barriers including a 'motherhood penalty' that can reduce lifetime earnings by about $500,000, declining C-suite representation, and a widening gender pay gap. Tamera Fenske is chief supply chain officer at Kimberly-Clark, a $36 billion manufacturer, overseeing 22,665 employees—about 58% of the company's workforce—and managing sourcing and product delivery. Around 422 Fortune 500 companies have chief supply chain officers, yet only about 18% of those executives are women and 12% are from underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds. Chief supply chain officer is among C-suite roles with the least female representation. Fenske is one of 76 Fortune 500 female executives with that title.
