Outnumbered
Sadly, the world of banking and Wall Street is still very male-dominated, although things are changing. In 2018, a report from Catalyst stated that less than 17% of senior executives on Wall Street were women. By 2021, Deloitte reported that this increased to 22%, with expectations of it reaching 31% by 2030.
So, anyone calling out this inequality in Wall Street is totally justified in doing so! Although, I’m not too sure how lowering the number of Davids on a PowerPoint slide is going to help things. Let’s focus on the real battle and not get sidelined by token gestures like this one!
