In 2022, women account for 19% of C-level positions in the average supply chain organization, up from 15% in 2021, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc. and AWESOME. However, women comprise 21% of VP-level roles, a decrease from 23% last year. In addition, 39% of the total supply chain workforce are women, down from 41% in 2021.
“Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) remain committed to gender diversity, but this survey suggests that they will need to double-down on goal setting, leadership inclusion and career-pathing for women,” said Caroline Chumakov, senior principal analyst with the Gartner Supply Chain practice.
