Siemens ‘too white, German and male’ :[]

Quote:
Siemens‘ top management is too German for its own good, as well as too white and male, according to its chief executive.

Peter Löscher, the Austrian-born chief of the German industrial conglomerate, said the priority for his second year in charge would be to improve the “global diversity” of managers and warned that Germany’s competitiveness could be threatened if it failed to do so.

“The management board are all white males. Our top 600 managers are predominantly white German males. We are too one-dimensional,” he said in an interview to mark his first year in charge.

In other words, "We are a successful company and I'm going to change that!".
