The Pulse – Weekly Newsletter 7/20/20
Let’s take a break from Covid and turn our attention to some very exciting trends we are seeing happen on a global scale affecting women directly.
In recent years, the number of women studying for MBAs at top business schools has increased at a rapid rate. Only two or three years ago, the proportion of females in all schools was above 30% all year round. After Stanford GSB broke the 40 percent mark, every school followed suit the following year, with the proportion rising significantly from one year to the next.
We are dedicating this week’s Pulse to highlighting some amazing success stories of Merchant women and other female business professionals who are making international waves and riding them as well!
