At the CEO level, women finally outnumber men named John
Women chief executive officers finally — definitively — outnumber CEOs with the first name John among S&P 500 companies, per a new analysis from Bloomberg.
Justin Wolfers first noted that Johns outnumbered women CEOs back in 2015. Women first outnumbered Johns in 2018, but by the following year there was a new name-nemesis: women tied with CEOs named James, Bloomberg reports.
It was only in the past year, after 10 new female CEOs joined the S&P 500, that women truly tore off the yoke of John. In an exciting twist, there are currently three CEOs named Jennifer.

so my take from this is that if you want to make it big you better be called John, James or Jennifer
