Summary: While IBM's Leadership Team is about a quarter female, the Board of Directors shows that IBM's priority when it comes to diversity is an empty facade like Outreachy funding or even worse (corporate types have hijacked those terms or notable causes to use them like weapons)

2020: IBM (Red Hat) Lectured FSF That It Needed More Diversity, But Was It Looking at the Mirror? IBM and Red Hat Are Even Less Diverse.

Today (2023):



So only about 16% of IBM's board is not male. Remember the similar split in the Linux Foundation, which excludes black people. It's almost about 90% corporate and proprietary, neither community nor Free/Open Source.

It would be reasonable to point out that the FSF has much better ratio. Out of 10 staff at the FSF 4 (40%) are female, including the Executive Director Zoë Kooyman.
