The biggest gender issues women face in the workplace are in the United States, not abroad, a global management consulting firm executive said to about 50 people Tuesday evening in Smith Hall.
Accenture executive Julie Coffman said that when working overseas she felt she wasn't viewed by her gender, but by her business capabilities.
"I think some places abroad who have gone through globalization and emerged as players in the world economy have done a better job sometimes working through gender issues (than the U.S.)," Coffman said.
