Every year, thousands of graduates finish their studies full of ideas and energy, ready to make their mark. They scroll through job boards, eager for their first break, only to find “junior” roles asking for three to five years of professional experience. For many, the dream starts and ends right there.

Why companies “can’t find” women for C-level roles; and why that says more about their search than the market. Every recruiter has heard it: “We’d love to hire more women in leadership, but there just aren’t that many at this level.” It’s said with the same weary sigh every time as if it’s gravity, not a choice.

Claire Williams and the case of The Glass Cliff
In 2013, Claire Williams became one of the few women to lead a Formula 1 team, stepping into Williams Racing as it faced deep decline. Despite her efforts to modernize and rebuild, she inherited a struggling organization with limited resources. Her leadership was harshly scrutinized, and her eventual exit reflected the “glass cliff” phenomenon, where women are handed high-risk leadership roles and blamed when things collapse. Her story reveals systemic barriers, not personal
