Worldwide Vice President Cardiovascular, Metabolism and Pulmonary Hypertension

McKinsey & Company in partnership with LeanIn.Org recently released its ninth annual Women in the Workplace report. Key takeaways that stood out for me are: (1) The number of women in executive leadership and C-suite positions remains lower than what companies should maintain to gain the benefits of having a diverse leadership team At Johnson & Johnson, I have observed that women are in executive leadership roles, especially in areas where the company is leading – i.e., supply chain and leading therapeutic areas, like oncology. We can always strive to increase this, particularly representation of women of color in executive roles. (2) Women are more ambitious than before the COVID-19 pandemic, and flexibility in the workplace is fueling this I see the benefits of working in a flexible working environment that allows women to balance personal and professional needs. This is particularly important in global positions where one is often working with colleagues across many time zones. J&J has generous policies with regards to family caregiving and other personal needs in recognition of the diverse needs of our people. It’s a more human approach to our work that I appreciate as a woman and mom working in a global environment. I also witness this increase in ambitious women and have the honor of sponsoring several of them at J&J. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eQKj7qq5. What are your thoughts?
