The bigger the playing field, the more influence and presence you achieve in the world. Women will experience success and hardships; it is all part of the learning process, the development and the journey. Israel needs our skills and perspectives. I strongly believe that more women in key positions will lead to a better and more successful Israel.”
Lilach Asher-Toplisky, Chairperson of Kamada, represent the TASE-listed BioMed sector, said: “We must continue to address the underrepresentation of women in the business sector, with our hope that in the future, as a society, we will no longer need to dedicate a special day to gender equality.”
Hani Shitrit Bach, EVP and Head of Listing at TASE, said: “I am very proud to work at TASE, a company where more than 50% of employees and 50% of management are women. Unfortunately, the percentage of women serving as chairpersons, CEOs, and vice presidents among TASE-listed companies is still very lowWe invited today leading women from the Technology and Biomed sectors, that are the growth engines of the Israeli economy, which relatively have high representation of women - of 16 companies, 9 have women CEOs and 9 have women chairpersons. We are encouraged by these numbers and look forward to seeing more women hold key positions in public companies.”
