i said that i am not an expert by any means in the industry that any of these women are in but my reaction was why be frustrated in those companies for years on end.  learn what you need to learn, grab four other women who are just as smart as anyone at the table and create your own companies. be your own president and change the marketplace. if women want to truly change it is not going to come from being in environments that have been set in stone for years on end where men run the show, it is going to change from women walking out the door and starting up their own and proving that they can succeed at the same level. change needs to come from outside the box because it rarely works inside organizations that haven’t changed in fifty years. take a look at companies who aren’t nimble enough to even figure out their online presence.
