A CNNMoney analysis shows women hold just 5% of the CEO jobs in the S&P 500, and the pipeline of rising stars behind them is thin¹. 

StrasburgerBOLD™ recently addressed this issue with leading women professionals in Austin, exploring the idea that mentoring was an essential – but often underutilized – piece of the current equation.

Moderated by Corinne Smith, co-chair of StrasburgerBOLD-Austin and partner in the firm’s healthcare law practice, the discussion featured perspectives from Toya Circia Bell, Deputy Chief Ethics Officer at Texas Health & Human Services Commission; Benée Brown, Senior Medical Liaison for Senofi U.S. Medical Affairs, Mary Lou Fry, Offshore US Legal Manager for Statoil; Janel Joseph, Principal at J.E. Joseph Consulting; and Kerry Rupp, Partner at True Wealth Ventures.

The audience of financial, education, real estate, media, technology, and healthcare professionals challenged the speakers to offer solutions to a few real life scenarios. Please click here for conversation highlights.
