Research Topic 02
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
45.0%
Senior staff and functional roles across the 358-company panel.
FEEDER ROLES
25.3%
Operational, P&L-carrying roles that traditionally lead to the CEO position.
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.
Explore Feeder Role AnalysisResearch Topic 03
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
35.3%
Company-level average across the 358 companies with usable data at all three levels.
FIRST/MID MANAGEMENT
28.3%
First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers (EEO-1 category).
SENIOR LEADERSHIP
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.
