There’s a theory in corporate America that women in positions of power don’t help other women. Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser doesn’t buy it.
“Utter rubbish,” Fraser said during a panel discussion with General Motors Co. Chairman and CEO Mary Barra for the Economic Club of New York. “From my own experience, I have to say I’ve had wonderful male mentors, but the support of different female mentors, friends, colleagues, female CEOs has been extraordinary.”
