Description
A number of studies have recently called attention to the lack of gender diversity in leadership positions in the life sciences industry. Women in BIO and LifeSci Advisors have taken steps to increase the presence of women in the boardroom of biotech companies through a new training program to get women boardroom ready, as well as the creation of an initiative to help place qualified women onto the boards of companies. We spoke to Dawn Hocevar, president elect of Women in Bio and Michael Rice, founding partner of LifeSci Advisors about their efforts, why there aren’t more women on the boards of biotech companies today, and what has to be done to remedy the problem.
