Why are American women doing so well in Britain's biggest companies?
There are only three women in charge of FTSE 100 companies and they are all American. Marjorie Scardino is at Pearson, Cynthia Carroll at Anglo American and Angela Ahrendts at Burberry. The American dominance doesn’t end there - thirty per cent of female company directors in the UK are also from the US. So why are they doing so well? Jane is joined by Candace Johnson, an American entrepreneur and investor, and by Professor Susan Vinnicombe, Director of the International Centre for Women Leaders at the Cranfield School of Management.Cranfield School of ManagementDisclaimer
