Mintigo mined the web and used sophisticated predictive algorithms to gather robust data on millions of companies.
We analyzed thousands of indicators for companies, and
compared the two groups split by gender
Our computer algorithms analyzed CEO names and classified them as male or
female
We looked at CEOs from companies with over 100 employees or over $50
million in revenue
