Women in top management or executive positions are rare. Statistics Canada reported in 1999 women in senior management and professional finance (both terms undefined) accounted for 3.5% of the workforce (Women in Canada at a Glance, 2012). In 2015, 8.5% of women held executive level jobs in the top 100 companies of the nation. This means is, 45 women in CEO or CFO positions in Canada’s business world (Comas, 2015)
