“Think White Guys” | #APPL

Microsoft has an Indian-born CEO and Board of Directors consisting of an African-American Chairman, alongside two females and six white dudes, in addition to four female, two asian male, and 7 white dudes in the Executive column; Apple’s Board of Directors is made up of 7 white dudes and one asian lady (who is without a profile) and an Executive team consisting of nine white dudes. So Apple is 16 white guys and one lady, and Microsoft is diversity.

Fascinating.

  1. Had a similar thought as I was writing; “curmudgeons with beards” snark aside, Canonical is pretty good with 8 on their “management team” (i.e. Executives) with 1 African-American and 1 lady (who is CEO, actually). Red Hat is mostly whiteys but has a few standout roles including a female “Chief People Officer” (in lieu of CEO) and a handful of Indian and Pakistani-born management. Honestly within the Linuxsphere the bios available get really thin really fast. Less profile, y’know.
