Research Topic 02

Feeder Roles and the S&P 500 CEO Pipeline

Does executive diversity disappear before the CEO selection stage—or earlier in the leadership pipeline? This study compares representation across CEO-feeding operational roles and senior staff roles, finding a pattern more consistent with a structural feeder-role bottleneck than with a shortage of qualified diverse senior executives.

STAFF ROLES

Non-white-male share of staff roles

45.0%

Senior staff and functional roles across the 358-company panel.

FEEDER ROLES

Non-white-male share of feeder roles

25.3%

Operational, P&L-carrying roles that traditionally lead to the CEO position.

CURRENT CEOS

Non-white-male share of current CEOs

22.4%

112 of 500 S&P 500 CEOs — closely resembling feeder roles, not staff roles.

Overall Finding: the dataset is more consistent with a structural feeder-role bottleneck than with a shortage of qualified diverse senior executives — 45.0% staff roles → 25.3% feeder roles → 22.4% current CEOs.

Research Topic 03

S&P 500 Promotion Bottlenecks

500 S&P 500 companies examined to identify where racial and ethnic representation narrows between the professional workforce, first/mid management, and executive/senior leadership.

PROFESSIONAL PIPELINE

Average non-White share of professionals

35.3%

Company-level average across the 358 companies with usable data at all three levels.

FIRST/MID MANAGEMENT

Average non-White share of first/mid-level managers

28.3%

First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers (EEO-1 category).

SENIOR LEADERSHIP

Average non-White share of executive/senior managers

20.4%

Executive/Senior-Level Officials and Managers (EEO-1 category).

Overall Finding: the dataset is strongly consistent with a cumulative leadership-advancement bottleneck — 35.3% professionals → 28.3% first/mid managers → 20.4% executive/senior managers. It shows where representation narrows, not a single causal explanation.
