Indira Samarasekera is featured in Report on Business Magazine's look at pioneering female directors in Canada and what needs to happen to bring equality to corporate Canada. She says:

• The lack of women in senior leadership positions is a key reason for the shortage of female directors
• It's important to have a diversity of experience—that’s what’s enriching, especially when a company has operations around the world
• Being on a board is about fit, and there are ways for women to educate themselves on the opportunities that exist
