This week we observed International Women’s Day, and although women have come a long way in recent years, there’s still a long way to go. Even though women make up almost half of the workforce, they hold less than a quarter of senior positions globally. According to US Census Data, women earn on average 80.5 cents for every dollar earned by their male colleagues, and over $10,000 less in median earnings than men. When it comes to Fortune 500 companies, only 24 have women CEOs.

CTech – Israel’s venture capital industry has been historically dominated by men. However, recent years have shown that the tide is changing, with more women and minorities entering the scene resulting in more diversified boardrooms across the country.
CTech spoke with 10 women: UpWest’s Shuly Galili, Citi’s Ornit Shinar, iAngels’ Shelly Hod Moyal and Mor Assia, Qumra Capital’s Sivan Shamri Dahan, Samsung’s Rutie Adar, JVP’s Fiona Darmon, Qualcomm Ventures’ Merav Weinryb, Viola Growth’s Natalie Refuah, and DTCP’s Irit Kahan, to find out more about women’s impact in the VC arena.
