GPS: A Guide To Professional Success

Women and People of Color, especially Black women, are vastly under-represented at senior levels in Corporate America. In 2020 there are only 4 Black male CEOs at Fortune 500 companies; that’s less than 1%. Only 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs were women. There are no Black women in CEO roles.
