There is much work to be done, according to a 2016 survey by LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Co. Women hold 45% of entry-level positions in medtech, but just 19% of C-suite roles. The study showed that for every 100 women promoted to a managerial role, 130 men are promoted.

Janie Finn, founder & president of Finnesse Partners, hosted a conversation with Ann Anaya, chief diversity officer at 3M (NYSE:MMM), and Sophia Khan, senior director of global inclusion and diversity at Medtronic (NYSE:MDT), to discuss how the industry is evolving toward welcoming all to the table.
