It is beyond frustrating that the view from the boardroom remains shockingly unchanged, with the traditional boys’ club still clinging tightly to the reins at the very top. Throughout my career in Executive search, particularly when placing top talent in demanding industries like Pharma and Biotech, I’ve seen firsthand how brilliant women are continually sidelined by unfair double standards and a crippling confidence gap.
