With the exits of Apple’s Tim Cook and Dow’s Jim Fitterling, the Fortune 500 is losing two groundbreaking gay CEOs—leaving just one

The exits of Apple’s Tim Cook and Dow’s Jim Fitterling as CEOs in July and September will leave only one openly LGBTQ+ Fortune 500 CEO, Land O’ Lakes’ Beth Ford, highlighting ongoing underrepresentation of LGBTQ+ leaders in corporate leadership. Other historically underrepresented groups, including Black and women CEOs, remain underrepresented despite modest gains.
