QUOTE: “Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy.” F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
When I started The Davos CEO Pledge, I assumed I would get 30-40% women to World Economic Forum within a few years because as a former executive search consultant, I knew the top female talent was available. I asked the world’s top CEOs to help me – men who were written up in articles & admired by the press. Today, after working diligently to get the percentage from just 15% women to 22%, I realize there is a much bigger issue. Some Davos Men have secrets, and until we address this issue, we will not get a healthy representation of the seasoned women leaders ages 45-65+ to achieve inclusive economic growth. A major obstacle is the PR Industrial Complex which spins stories to make these CEOs look good. Meantime some of these CEOs bully women. Older male CEOs promoting the idea of hiring young millennials is a recipe for disaster, because it leaves out the amazing, experienced women with wisdom! Here I discuss two Davos CEOs (Martin Sorrell & Jeff Bezos in the MeToo era) & Success Coach Tony Robbins. My goal since 2011 is 30%+ women leaders at Davos & Cannes Lions. For anyone willing to help achieve my dream, please get in touch on Linked In. As positive & hopeful as I have been in my prior posts, dealing with CEOs & Billionaires is not always pretty: WATCH

What Does Leadership Look Like to You? Inspired by Athena, the helper of heroes & heroines and her former boss who created Entertainment Tonight, Executive/Anchor Sandra Rupp created The Five Questions to Davos CEO Series on Smart TV. The future of women rests on their heroic shoulders.
I have asked five key companies to add women to their Davos Delegate Teams for the DAVOS CEO CHALLENGE. I am now delivering results: I had previously filmed Five Questions to Sir Martin & Muhtar Kent. CEO @CocaCola is bringing two female delegates to Davos (a sure winner for 2016) and WPP is on board with a new female delegate (with Sir Martin and one other WPP delegate listed that’s actually 50% Women for WPP parent company: Impressive way to bring the % up but he is a Math Man). We also have 50% Female Chairs this year! CEO @Citi brought two women last year. We will be watching for the final number from Unilever CEO who is well known for The Sustainable Living Plan & his impressive work on UN Global Goals. QUOTE: “Our brands are 80% there to serve women.” CEO Paul Polman
The shocking news is the current estimate for overall percentage of Davos Women is only 18%. We really need the 5 Davos Challenge CEOs to be our heroes and work with me on this project. My concern is many women can’t sleep at night, because over 100 Million Western Women in all age groups and many more around the globe don’t have Jobs, Opportunities or Angel Investors. We are not leveraging the talent of some or our most educated Western Women! This is the REASON I am working diligently and creatively on getting 30% Women to Davos (40% of my top school MBA class was women many years ago). In one last #ThinkPink Athena-inspired shot at getting more Doves to Davos, here are 5 Questions for Unilever CEO. With gratitude, Sandra Rupp, Executive & Anchor www.parthenonadvisors.com
Advice to all CEOs: What Does Leadership Look Like to You? Please call it Gender Parity (positive energy) not the Gender Gap. Don’t expect women leaders to be like men (some like yoga & fashion more than sports. Yes I’ve hit a hole in one, won a skeet tourney & helped get Women into Augusta, but my main interests are global business, digital media, and helping others). Hoping for a miracle in getting more CEOs to invite Women @Davos. I am happy to work on executive coaching & media projects for your companies or organizations.
Sandra Rupp previously achieved the Managing Director corner office in Global Executive Search, has a Kellogg MBA, studied at Oxford. She was placed on the THINKERS50 Guru Radar list for the world’s Top Business Thinkers for “The Yin & Yang of Leadership” and stated in the Davos Debates in 2011 that “Investing in & Empowering The Feminine Leadership Style is the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” She is rebranding the look & feel of leadership.

Beautiful OR Average? Why I want to work with Unilever CEO Paul Polman & Give DOVE a Creative Makeover
Posted on: April 15, 2015
UPDATE: Soon after this post, Unilever’s CEO @PaulPolman joined Twitter, modified his website & can now read Sandra’s Tweets He added another lady to his CEO Team.
“What message is new Dove Ad really sending to our daughters?” Telegraph
“Dove’s ‘Beautiful or Average’ Ad: does it do more harm than good?” ETonline
“Dove is Really Reaching with this New Stunt that Forces Women to Label Themselves ‘Average’ or ‘Beautiful'” Fast Company magazine (click to view)
BOTTOM LINE: I have talked openly about how much I admire Unilever’a Sustainable Living Plan. But when I am appointed to his CEO Team, I will have more choices for Dove doors: including Kind-Hearted, Feminine & Fearless. Dear Ad Age & Sir Martin: he needs a female Chief Creative for Dove. The one positive thing about the Ad was they took my advice & filmed women around the globe! Here’s my new video offering to work with Paul as Chief Creative Advisor on Dove & other brands. Click to View:
“Dove has Women Walk through Doors Labeled ‘Beautiful’ or ‘Average’….” Beauty Editor Arabelle Sicardi of BuzzFeed
“Dove’s New Choose Beautiful Ad Sparks Online Backlash.” Nicole Arce in Tech Times
ORIGINAL POST: Just imagine this scenario: a male CMO & male SVP of Brand, a male Chief Creative Officer, and even male Directors of an Ad Agency hatch a plan to have the Ad Team fly to five cities and film women walking into office buildings or malls for a female soap product. But first they plan to put up two huge signs: on top of Door #1 is a sign that says BEAUTIFUL. On top of Door #2 is the sign AVERAGE. And then they film the majority of the women walking through the AVERAGE Door! Wow you can’t even make this stuff up…I really need to help CEO Paul Polman promote the positive self-esteem in his Sustainable Living Plan. As some of you know, I helped him clean up the Axe Ads (see all Videos to CEO Unilever on YouTube), but now I’d like him to hire me to give Dove a Creative Makeover. As I pointed out in my prior Dove post, Beautiful is a man’s word (click to see more). But there’s more that Unilever’s CEO needs to know: the BuzzFeed Beauty Editor mysteriously had her critical Dove post temporarily deleted – and then restored when BuzzFeed’s Editor-in-Chief admits he blew it after a Slate article. So why did he temporarily delete the post? Last time I checked PR Firm Edelman had been contacted, but there was no comment – Richard & Sir Martin please give me a call. Because I suspect Paul will be siding with me – because top women Execs, Journalists & customers are worn out being told we have to think like men. Calgon take me away ~

EXCITING NEWS LEADERS: My first Davos Video for 2015 in my prior post got published in the FINANCIAL TIMES Alphaville. Many thanks to Paul Murphy, Founding Editor (click to Davos Woman in FT). Meantime a Fast Company Magazine reporter tweeted “In awe of Davos Woman, Sandra Rupp.” Today I want to share my 5 Questions to CEOs Series with Paul, you and two of my favorite CEOs. From Cannes Lions to World Economic Forum, these are power players in global business. If you want to make something happen, GO where the POWER is. Here I share how I first met WPP CEO Martin Sorrell & I ask our key question. I want to work with Sir Martin on two initiatives:
Sir Martin’s impressive business at WPP Group includes global advertising, digital & consumer insights businesses. Sir Martin & I have shared a few colleagues & clients in common.
WPP Group companies
“Sandra Rupp is The Feminine Leader Voice.” In 2011 Sandra was placed on the Cover of the Davos Debates Video when she stated “Investing in & Empowering The Feminine Leadership Style is the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” Later that year she was placed on the THINKERS 50 Radar list for World’s Top Business Thinkers. She has been recording videos ever since with her background in Media Presenting, Executive Coaching & Leadership Advisory (MBA Kellogg, studied International Business & Art at Oxford). Sandra is inviting key CEOs to work with her to appoint 30% Women to their CEO Teams & bring two female delegates to World Economic Forum to show the other CEOs how it’s done. Meantime she is inviting all CEOs to interview with her on camera in Naples, FL.
My Goal: to get 30% Women and myself to Davos, and I think these two CEOs are most likely to help me, along with CEOs Paul Polman of Unilever, Michael Dell & Michael Corbat of Citi (we are all interconnected, watch for more videos during #WEF).
