The number of female corpo rate officers at Fortune 500 com panies inched up 3.2 percentage points over the past two years, according the biannual survey by Catalyst, a New York-based women’s advocacy group. “Historically, in down economies, women tend to be hit very hard. We have data showing that this has not happened, which is a surprise for many,” said Sheila Wellington, president of Catalyst. Women now make up 15.7 percent of the top-ranking execu tives at America’s largest compa nies — or 2,140 of the 13,673 total —compared with 12.5 per cent in 2000 and 8.7 percent in 1995 when Catalyst began keep ing track. “While the pace of change is steady, it is also slow,” Wellington said. Women held 7.9 percent, or 191 of the 2,412 “corporate clout titles,” which Catalyst defined as chief executive, chairman, vice chairman, president, chief oper ating officer, senior executive vice president and executive vice president. That is an increase of 1.7 percentage points from the 6.2 percent in 1997.
