I am delighted to share the details of this challenge with you and with five of my FAVORITE DAVOS CEOs: Paul Polman of Unilever, Sir Martin Sorrell of WPP Group, Michael Corbat of Citigroup, Muhtar Kent of Coca Cola, and Michael Dell of Dell.

Here I invite the CEOs to contact me to schedule an on camera interview. I have handpicked five CEOs to lead the way on getting 30% Women to Davos. As the winds blow cold in Davos, we will be plotting a strategy here in Florida to make all CEOs worthy of their Catalyst Awards, the McKinsey research Women Matter, and the other awards they are picking up. The percent of women at Davos (just 17%!) remained flat this year, but we have a master plan to fix that. With the CEOs’ permission, we want to film a portion of the meetings to help lead the way for all their female customers. I am confident these five CEOs & their CHROs will understand the importance of my plan which was inspired by Warren Buffett among others. Contact: www.parthenonadvisors.com
