The Paradigm for Parity® movement is a coalition of business leaders dedicated to addressing the
corporate leadership gender gap. The coalition is made up of CEOs, senior executives, founders,
board members, and business academics who are committed to achieving a new norm in the
corporate world: one in which women and men have equal power, status, and opportunity. Our
ultimate goal is to achieve full gender parity by 2030, with a near-term goal of women holding at
least 30% of senior roles.
