It might be the most fool-proof argument for ending the disparity between men and women in the boardroom: A new study finds that women just might run a company better.
Fortune 500 companies that rank in the top quartile for women representation on their boards outperform the bottom quartile by more than 53 percent on return on equity. That’s the gender dividend in action.
While others debate whether boards should have one woman or two or three, whether quotas should be mandated, and where on earth to find a woman who has adequate experience or intellect, IAC/InterActiveCorp did something bold, electing elected two women directors who will each contribute unique value to the IAC board: Chelsea Clinton and Sonali de Rycker.
