Lead the Progress

Michael Fracarro

Former Chief People Officer, Mastercard

We've made progress to be proud of, but our work continues. Achieving equal access to opportunity requires ongoing action. We must keep fostering inclusion across all levels of leadership.

Bunita Sawhney

Chief Consumer Product Officer, Mastercard

When leadership teams represent different perspectives and lived experiences, they make more informed decisions, drive innovation, and collaborate in ways that show through in your bottom line. That's why 50/50 Women on Boards and their mission to bring more voices to the boardroom are critical.

David Cahoy

Senior Managing Director, Evercore

50/50 Women on Boards brings together board directors, business leaders, and highly qualified women shaping the next generation of board leadership. Supporting this mission is a natural extension of our commitment to helping clients build high-performing boards and create long-term value.

Helen Mason

Senior Managing Director, Head of Markets, Riveron

At Riveron, we know that exceptional boards drive exceptional outcomes. Partnering with 50/50 Women on Boards puts us at the center of the conversation that matters most: building the leadership capacity that companies need to perform.

Kris Pederson

Former Americas Center for Board Matters Leader, EY

Diversity of thought and perspective elevates board effectiveness and leads to better governance. Leading boards understand the importance of directors who reflect and address the needs of all stakeholders. I remain committed to supporting efforts to make boards as diverse and inclusive as possible.

Belen Gomez

Vice President, Strategic Initiatives & Communications, Equilar

In a time when some companies are retreating from their DEI commitments, it's more important than ever to stay the course. We support 50/50 Women on Boards in our belief that diverse boards lead to stronger, more innovative businesses.

Sean Ferguson

Vice President, Strategy and Innovation, Bentley University

Bentley is proud to be a strategic research partner for 50/50 Women on Boards. Our collaboration provides critical, data-driven analysis on the advancement of women in board leadership, helping ensure all women leaders can share their expertise to enhance the quality of board governance.

David Chun

Founder & CEO, Equilar

Through our partnership with 50/50 Women on Boards, we provide the research that drives action. Companies that treat board composition as a strategic priority rather than a compliance exercise build the leadership capacity to outperform.
