RE: Story 268
Fair enough but how would hiring more women into leadership roles or sponsoring them mitigate any of the risks indicated in your examples?
You appear all over the place and are criticizing without rhyme and reason. Let’s cut Jane some slack. She has done a wonderful job which should be celebrated.
As the chair of a fintech board, I want to respond to stories 227 and 228. BoD’s have a clear legal responsibility to set the tone at the top; oversee ethics, conduct, and culture; and address executive misconduct or systemic issues when they arise.

My daughter forwarded me the article about this site from efinancialcareers.com. I just wanted to drop a note providing my support for what these courageous women are doing.
