LOS ANGELES â In late 2017, ICM Partners CEO Chris Silbermann announced an audacious pledge: achieve gender parity in leadership positions and on the board by 2020.
It was part of a larger industry-wide effort called 50/50 by 2020, championed by prominent ICM client Shonda Rhimes and others in the wake of Hollywood s reckoning over sexual harassment. Companies work best when . there is a balance of men and women in positions of leadership and positions all across the company, Silbermann said during a 2018 policy summit. We can t be a company of a bunch of guys who look like me.
Last year, ICM, which represents such stars as Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, Regina King, Michael Keaton and Wanda Sykes â declared victory, telling Variety that at least half the agents promoted to partner status since 2017 were female. In March, the agency said that 15 of its 23 departments are run or co-run by women.
