Chief, a private network for female executives on a mission to put more women in C-Suite roles, raised $100 million at $1.1 billion valuation in a Series B round led by CapitalG. The platform now has over 12,000 users and 60,000 on the waitlist. As Marlize van Romburgh writes for Crunchvase, “Chief’s growth comes as women remain a minority in the highest ranks of the business world. Just 41 of the Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs as of last year, a record at 8.1%.”
