Somewhere in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region today, a woman is starting her career in nutraceuticals. She is well-educated, ambitious and entering one of the most dynamic industries in the fastest-growing economic region in the world.
If current trends hold, she will retire long before the global gender leadership gap closes. The latest projections put that milestone at 134 years from now.1
Not a rounding error. Not a pessimistic reading of the data. One hundred and thirty-four years. That number deserves to sit with the reader for a moment before anything else is said!
Rajat Mittal Shah (pictured), founder and Executive Director at Nutriventia, and APAC Regional Chair at Women in Nutraceuticals, shines a spotlight on this pressing issue.
