Gattung says Fletcher wouldn't have foundered with a woman at the top

Dear me.
Theresa (waving a ruby red tube of lipstick) single-handed launched Telecoms bold move into Australia and promptly lost $2.5 billion.
This decimated Telecom which was carved up, renamed and struggled to survive.
It may be argued that Theresa managed to lose more money than any other kiwi ever - man or woman.
Just saying.

Fletcher Building wouldn't have hit its recent bout of trouble, had it had a woman in charge, one of New Zealand's highest-profile businesswomen says.
Former Spark boss, co-founder of My Food Bag and professional director Theresa Gattung spoke on Friday at a forum discussing equal pay and gender diversity in business.
During the Q&A session, when a member of the audience asked how Sir Ralph Norris would have faced Fletcher Building's shareholder meeting this week had he been a woman, Gattung said the construction company would never have been in poor financial state had a woman been at the helm.
"If a woman had been chairing Fletchers, that wouldn't have happened," she said. The room broke into a thunderous applause.
