"The hardest thing was the ability for investors and CEOs to say, what's the pattern recognition that allows me to see success? And oftentimes it is based on financial metrics only. They haven't dug deeper to understand leadership attributes. Because right now in particular, when you have a down market cycle, you don't have as many women that have those financial outcomes."

Sonia Millsom, CEO of Oxeon, exposes the blind spot that's keeping women out of leadership: investors looking for the wrong patterns.

They want billion-dollar exits. They want financial metrics. But in a down market, that criteria systematically excludes women who've been building differently—turning around businesses, creating profitability, launching new growth paths.

The pattern that matters isn't in the P&L. It's in the leadership attributes that actually predict success.

Time to look deeper.
