NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- "Tiger" Tyagarajan, chief executive officer of Genpact, and the 60+ other Catalyst CEO Champions for Change, who took a pledge to advance more women into senior leadership positions and onto their boards, are making tangible progress, according to Catalyst's latest report.

"We're proud that women represent 40% of Genpact's board of directors," said 'Tiger' Tyagarajan, chief executive officer, Genpact. "Diversity of all kinds always leads to the most robust discussions and therefore the best business outcomes. In today's fast-changing technology-driven world it's clear this is the strategically and financially smart thing to do."

In addition, Genpact and the Champion companies collectively outpaced their global peers in representation of women across the leadership pipeline in 2018, having more women board directors, executives, senior managers, and managers in comparison.

Tyagarajan and the other Catalyst CEO Champions for Change boldly pledge to be transparent and share metrics on their progres to hold themselves and their organizations accountable.

"We are living in a time where people expect the business community to reflect what society looks like, yet we are still far from gender equality in the workforce," said Catalyst President and CEO Lorraine Hariton. "Genpact's 'Tiger' Tyagarajan and the Catalyst CEO Champions for Change have taken concrete steps to create change for women, including women of color, in the workplace. These leaders exemplify the immense power of action, and we are proud and honored to be working alongside them."
