Executive & Anchor Sandra Rupp reports on THE WAY AHEAD ~ for State Street, McCann, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Unilever, WPP CEOs.
Today I’m offering strategic advertising advice to Jay Hooley, CEO of State Street global financial services and Harris Diamond, CEO of McCann, a top ad agency owned by Interpublic. FT Alphaville had an insightful post on that “Fearless Girl” Statue they placed standing in front of the famous Wall Street Bull for International Women’s Day. While I give all CEOs credit for taking on the complex topic of gender parity, in this case the marketing teams tried to tie this publicity stunt to a communications message to influence companies to appoint more women to their boards. I immediately hit the FT comments button, as I was shaken State Street and their ad agency were tying women on boards to a statue of a little girl. Why? Well predictably the press scrutinized the % women in leadership at State Street (reminded me of the Audi Super Bowl ad controversy), and I don’t think any of this helps get more women on boards today: the rest is HERSTORY. Jay and Harris, I invite you to call me for expert advice. Let’s replace the little girl statue with a statue of a businesswoman in high heels with a businessman standing next to her (Yin/Yang). I would love to work with you! I helped reinvent the Unilever Axe & Dove Ads and influenced Sir Martin’s CEOs to put more women Creative Chiefs at WPP agencies. P.S. Alfa Romeo, after your inspiring, feminine energy Super Bowl Ads, you are my next car purchase! Watch the full report here:

QUOTE “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” ~ Ronald Reagan
Leaders I want to share a Special Valentine Message this year. I would like to welcome Davos Men to the Largest Economic Opportunity Worldwide. Did you know that women are the largest consumer market and an increasing percentage of business purchasing? Did you know that just 7% of people worldwide have a college degree (about 30% of people in Western countries) but women currently make up 60% of college graduates in the US ? Did you know that just about 8% of people in Western countries have a post-graduate degree but that my MBA class was 40% Women two decades ago? Unfortunately 90% of the Angel Investor & VC Money is still going to men! Yet women in their 40s and 50s are starting more new companies than any other demographic sector but many have to use a personal credit card (with high interest rates) to start one. Banks: how are you doing on Small Business Lending?…Companies: Why are we stuck at just 16% Women Board Members for the last ten years in countries without a Quota? What does Leadership Look Like to YOU?…Meantime only 3% of Creative Heads at the major Ad Agencies are Women??…Looking at many of the Super Bowl Ads, the gentlemen need some help! (Calgon, take me away… :-))
DAVOS CEOs IN EVERY INDUSTRY: You NEED 30%+ WOMEN on your Boards & Executive Teams today following McKinsey’s research that 30%+ Women on your teams is good for business. Otherwise you are not investing in the largest economic opportunity worldwide. Executive women don’t need Sponsorship which to me is an outdated patriarchical word; they need to be appointed to your Leadership Team & recognized as the strong FEMININE LEADERS THEY ALREADY ARE. Can’t find them in your company? I can. I was a Global Executive Search Consultant for many years. Angel Investors: if you are not investing in Women & Minorities, you are missing out on a huge portion of leaders needed to reboot the Western & global economies. And WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM with your support & the help of Davos Men like @DTapscott, @Bill_George, @Paul1Polman @BillGates @MartinSorrell @Wunderman29 @RichardBranson @MichaelDell @Nouriel and others, I WILL GET 30% WOMEN AT DAVOS including 2 delegates for strategic partners….because leadership now comes in a lot of different forms & fashions: indeed LEADERSHIP CAN LOOK LIKE THIS> And once I get DAVOS MEN TO UNDERSTAND THIS, we will GET THIS ECONOMY ROLLING AGAIN because Yin + Yang = 21st Century Success. STAY TUNED.

FAVORITE QUOTE: “The world will be saved by the Western Woman.” ~ His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
LEADERS some of my favorite speakers at Davos this year were Christine Lagarde, Head of the IMF , Drew Faust, the President of Harvard and Viviane Reding of the EU Commission (some of you may remember my Twitter Videos supporting Viviane during the EU debates on #WomenOnBoards). I was impressed with men & women speaking at Davos this year. I was delighted that my first Davos 2013 VIDEO was a TOP VIDEO for #WEF per Eventifier – that’s me the lady in white & pink. I also was happy to have my THREE KEY VIDEO Questions for CEOs become top VIDEOS on Twitter at once. See my prior posts for my Questions to CEO Martin Sorrell of WPPGroup (Media & Advertising), CEO Michael Corbat of Citigroup (Banking) and CEO Paul Polman of Unilever (Sustainability & Consumer Products). With your views, these videos willbecome Top Videos on YouTube & Google for a search of each CEO (and were already Top Videos on Twitter) .
DAVOS 2013 Resilient Dynamism WRAP UP MESSAGE. @Nouriel @WEF Are you LISTENING? Many thanks to my THINKERS 50 colleagues @DTapscott @Tom_Peters and others for RTing me during Davos. I look forward to achieving my goal of 30%+ Women at Davos. Indeed DAVOS WOMEN are on a roll…. Sandra Rupp is on the THINKERS 50 Guru Radar list for the world’s top business thinkers.

UPDATE: Soon after Sandra Rupp issued THE DAVOS WOMAN 30%+ CHALLENGE (click to view) to 5 KEY CEOs, CEO Michael Corbat of Citigroup added a 2nd Woman to his CEO Executive Team. STAY TUNED.
Today’s Davos Woman Question is for Bank CEOs. Leaders did you see the article in American Banker about the new Citigroup Executive Leadership Team? It points out that the new Leadership Team of 24 people is all male with the exception of one woman. When I attended a top school MBA program many years ago my class was 40% female. I also know from my work as an Executive Search Consultant and Executive Coach that there are many amazing and talented women for Boards & Executive Teams. So BANK CEOs I would like to work with you to achieve 30%+ Women on your Leadership Teams. Why? Because otherwise we are all missing out on the largest economic opportunity worldwide: Investing in more #DavosWomen.
STAY TUNED for more QUESTIONS for CEOs including tomorrow’s question for CEO Paul Polman of Unilever. We have a lot of important topics to cover, and DAVOS WOMAN IS READY TO ROLL….
