In Europe only nine of the top 500 companies are led by a female CEO (1.8%). In Australia only four (2%) of ASX200 companies are led by a woman. In the US, 13 (2.6%) of the Fortune 500 companies have a female CEO.
In Blink, Malcolm Gladwell mentions the over-representation of white tall males in CEO roles. In the general American population only 3.9% of adult men are six feet two or taller, but among CEOs of the F500 companies almost 33% are six feet two or taller.
