You can become part of 1 of 12 start-ups led by women that are expanding their remote teams in 2022

The statistics show that women have been steadily increasing their presence in leadership roles over the past several decades—and they're here to stay. According to Forbes' most recent list of the top 100 Most Powerful Women in the world, there are 48 female CEOs among Fortune 500 companies alone. Of those 48 CEOs, seven are running companies that are part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average—a group of 30 large publicly traded companies based in the US.

A survey of corporate executives revealed that having women in leadership positions is extremely beneficial to a company. Their emotional intelligence and compassionate leadership are two of the most crucial factors in success. Additionally, it increases the likelihood that other women will be promoted to leadership roles within the organization, resulting in a more diversified, gender-balanced workforce.

The wonderful thing about working at one of the following startups is that you can take your pick from a wide variety of opportunities. Some businesses won't even force you to choose between having a family or a career - unlike many other corporations which typically do not provide equal benefits and opportunities for both genders. In the US alone, women-led businesses generated more than 1.8 trillion dollars last year, and that number is projected to keep climbing well into 2022.

Here are 12 industry-leading companies with women in leadership roles, and flexible work environments to go along with them:
