Beginning with this year, Selling Power is also tracking the gender gap in the leadership of these major companies. While there was the slightest improvement from 2022, when only 8% of these companies were led by women, it is still disappointing that, in 2023, a paltry 10% of the Selling Power 500 companies are led by women. Within the leading tech sector companies reported on, all are helmed by men with the notable exception of Oracle’s CEO, Safra A. Catz.
Although it is too early to confirm a trend or assign causation, the overall number of salespeople has declined within the major tracked industries, while gross revenues are up across the board.
