Healthcare trails other industries in share of
women CEOs, CFOs
By Kristin Kuchno
W
hile the share of women in CEO and CFO roles has risen
steadily over the past decade, the growth rate in healthcare
has lagged behind other industries, according to a report
from executive search firm Crist Kolder Associates.
e percentage of female CEOs and CFOs in 2015 was 4.3% and
12.2%, respectively. In 2025, those figures have risen to 9.6% and
17.5%.
Crist Kolder's annual report tracked C-suite turnover among 667
companies in the Fortune 500 and S&P 500, 9.7% of which operate in
the healthcare sector.
In 2025, there were five female CEOs among the healthcare
organizations in the report, up from one in 2015. Both figures
are lower than those in any other industry in the report, including
technology, services, industrial, financial, energy and consumer.
ere were six female CFOs at the healthcare organizations in the
report as of 2015, a number that increased to 11 in 2025.
Across CEO, CFO and COO roles, only 13.8% of leaders at the
organizations studied were women.
Among all the industries studied, CFO ethnic and racial diversity has
nearly tripled over the past 10 years. CEO diversity increased more
modestly, from 6.9% in 2015 to 14.3% in 2025. n
