summary
Argues that gender bias shows up in hiring with the Howard/Heidi resume study where identical resumes get different outcomes, cites only ~3% board representation since the Industrial Revolution, and notes a 2018 Company Law Board directive requiring one independent woman director that suddenly created visible demand for qualified women. Claims more women on boards reduce fraud and risky failures, notes tech is ~25–30% women and AI/analytics under 10%, and urges being excellent, finding a sponsor not just a mentor, and working twice as hard to get noticed.
