With No Women Keynote Speakers, Does CES Have a Diversity Problem?

CMOs from HP, Chase and Twitter speak out

Jamie Gutfreund, global CMO at Wunderman, has worked in technology since the early ’90s and has been to more than a few Consumer Electronics Shows, the annual tech confab in Las Vegas. After a flurry of tweets over the weekend centered around the conference’s lack of female keynote speakers, Gutfreund still plans to attend next month’s event, but for a different reason. She wants to talk about diversity both on and off the flashy main stages. Really, she wants to talk about diversity.

“I’m looking forward to going to the event and seeing how many people still want to have the conversation while they’re there,” Gutfreund said.
