In A First, Half The Athletes In The Paris Olympics Will Be Female   "The Paris 2024 Olympics mark a transformative milestone in the history of sports, where for the first time, gender equality will be fully realized on the world's biggest stage. This unprecedented achievement not only showcases the relentless progress of women's sports but also paves the way for future generations of female athletes to rise, inspire, and conquer. It's a powerful reflection of the unwavering spirit and resilience of women worldwide, redefining what is possible and igniting the flame of ambition in every young girl watching. This is not just a moment of equality; it's a celebration of the incredible talent and determination of female athletes." ~Jenn Calabrese    https://lnkd.in/eiK_7W8a   Calabrese Consulting LLC

European cannabis companies start #IPO planning as US considers looser rules   Federal authorities are proposing to #reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug   A number of European #cannabis #start-ups are planning to go public in New York to take advantage of a US proposal to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug and decriminalisation in Germany, despite depressed share prices among bigger groups in the sector.   https://lnkd.in/e9iFRQ8T   Calabrese Consulting LLC

Do We Have The Pipeline Of Women To Fuel Future #CEOs?   Today, it’s 2024 – yet despite the fact that #gender equity issues in Corporate America have been under scrutiny for several decades, the latest research shows continued sluggish progress for women’s career advancement.   The S&P tracks the number of #women in key executive positions and recently reported a decline in the percentage of women in key leadership roles – the first decline in 20 years. Part of this is due to the complacently and push back of D & I programs and women opting out post covid due to stress and fatigue and going to other organization that have flexible work culture. To perpetuate that even more, for every 100 men who are promoted from entry-level to manager, only 87 women are promoted, and only 82 women of color are promoted which makes achieving gender equality in their organization all but impossible.   https://lnkd.in/e2kxAX27   Calabrese Consulting LLC

Why Are Companies That Lose #Money Still So Successful?   In a well-functioning #capitalmarket, profits should be the sole criterion for firm survival; that is, firms reporting losses should disappear. Of late, however, loss-making firms are highly sought after by #investors — often more than some profitable firms. Unicorns, or startups with valuations exceeding a billion dollars, are examples of such loss-making firms. What has changed over time? When and why did losses lose their meaning? The authors’ series of new research papers provide some answers, guiding managers to make the right #investments: those that produce delayed but real profits — not just those that produce short-term accounting profits but decimate #shareholder wealth in long run.   https://lnkd.in/eMYEddsU   Calabrese Consulting LLC

Investors Have Their Eyes On Women’s Sports As Profitability Soars   Women’s elite sports is poised to generate over $1 billion in global revenue for the first time in 2024, driven by surging interest (Deloitte).

The year-on-year growth in viewership suggests we are just scratching the surface of its potential.   https://lnkd.in/ezbiePfd   Calabrese Consulting LLC
