IIRC CEOs have a very high average height, and height can account for a very large portion of the female vs male management disparity.

I think the full factoid is that CEOs who were promoted to the job are taller than average, but founders are average or slightly below.

Actually it accounts for more than the difference, controlled for height men are discriminated against for leadership positions since there are barely any short male leaders and there are plenty of tall female leaders.
