SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 9, 2024--Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity provider, today announced its sponsorship of Firstboard.io, a curated group of experienced women board directors and board-ready accomplished tech executives. Through this collaboration, Okta will support Firstboard.io as they increase the number of women technology leaders on boards to pave the way for more gender diversity and leadership in business.
納斯達克公司（NASDAQ:OKTA）的領先獨立身份提供商Okta於2024年7月9日——（美國商業資訊網絡）——宣佈贊助Firstboard.io，這是一個由經驗豐富的女性董事和具備企業技術高管素質的人士組成的策劃小組。通過此次合作，Okta將支持Firstboard.io，以增加女性科技領袖加入董事會的數量，爲實現更多的性別多樣化和領導力鋪平道路。
According to the U.S. Technology Spencer Stuart Board Index, female representation in boardrooms is slowly rising, with women representing 31% of directors on technology company boards in 2023. However, the survey reported that women accounted for 38% of new directors, marking the lowest figure in this index since 2018.
根據美國斯賓塞·斯圖爾特（Spencer Stuart）科技董事會指數（Technology Spencer Stuart Board Index），2023年科技公司董事會的女性代表比例在緩慢上升，女性佔董事會董事的31%。然而，該調查報告指出，女性佔新任董事的比例爲38%，創自2018年以來該指數的最低水平。
"Despite initiatives to achieve gender parity in boardrooms, there's still progress to be made," said Kerry Ok, Chief Marketing Officer at Okta. "We're committed to doing our part to regain momentum, understanding that having diversity at the highest levels is critical to creating a culture of belonging and driving business success. Our partnership with Firstboard.io is a step towards progress on our journey to more inclusive leadership."
“儘管在實現董事會性別平衡方面採取了措施，但仍有進步空間，”Okta首席營銷官Kerry Ok表示，“我們致力於盡 our is ourue at part 角色，了解在最高層面擁有多樣性對於創建歸屬感文化和推動業務成功至關重要。我們與Firstboard.io的合作是邁向實現更具包容性領導力之路上的一步。”
In today's digital-first world, the composition of boards also requires specialized cybersecurity knowledge. Given their responsibility to oversee a company's strategy and risk management, board directors need to have an understanding of imminent threats. PwC's recent survey explores the evolving business landscape, citing that 80% of directors view technological disruption to be a moderate or serious risk.
在今天的數字化世界中，董事會的構成也需要特定的網絡安全概念知識。鑑於董事會瀆職監管公司策略和風險管理責任，董事委員需要對即將出現的網絡安全威脅有所了解。PwC最近的一項調查探討了不斷變化的商業格局，其中稱80%的董事認爲，技術破壞是一種中等或嚴重的風險。
"The benefits of diversifying talent and the connection to improved board effectiveness is significant," said Rita Scroggin, Founder and CEO at Firstboard.io. "At Firstboard.io, it's our priority to connect women leaders with domain expertise in cybersecurity, AI, enterprise software, and other key technologies to next generation boards. By sharing our vision with our sponsors, we're able to accelerate a future where more inclusive leadership is achievable."
“擴大人才多樣性的好處以及與提高董事會效益之間的聯繫是顯著的，”Firstboard.io的創始人兼首席執行官Rita Scroggin表示，“在Firstboard.io，我們的重點是將在網絡安全概念、人工智能、企業軟件和其他關鍵技術領域具有專業知識的女性領導者與下一代董事會聯繫起來。通過將我們的願景與我們的贊助商分享，我們能夠加速未來更具包容性領導力的實現。”
