A few weeks ago, I interviewed a woman who had just been appointed to a FTSE board about her experiences chiselling away at what sometimes seems to be corporate Britain’s shatter-proof-glass ceiling.
She told me some of the misogynistic, racist comments that had been directed at her over her career; she told me how much less she was paid than other men at her level; she told how many times people had said or implied she was only in her top-tier role due to tokenism.
