And in the wake of the pandemic, women leaders in corporate America more broadly are more likely than ever to quit, according to the most recent Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org.

"I realized I felt more comfortable discussing controversial ideas in Beijing than in San Francisco," he wrote.
