The conclusion I'd draw that female CEOs are a indicator of a company culture likely to be more accepting / more meritocratic / less nepotism internally which likely makes for a for a more agile company.

Regardless, stats like this hopefully help erode long standing views of women and leadership.

Expressed gender is not a good measure of a person's ability to create (or maintain) a good working environment.

The person above didn't claim otherwise.

They said the opposite, that the culture of the company has to be a certain way to have a female CEO in a world of mostly male CEOs. They didn't say that a female CEO creates that culture, and that would have the chicken-egg problem (i.e. how does a CEO create a culture that within itself helped cause a CEO get into the role? They could continue it however).

PS - I should clarify that I don't agree with the OP's point about culture. I actually subscribe to the notion that becoming a female CEO is so difficult the only ones who manage it are just "that damn good" that their companies do better.
