Diversity Publications
Shattering The Glass Ceiling



Our diversity publications are called "Shattering The Glass Ceiling" focusing on senior women and minority executives at Fortune 1000-class companies. We have identified virtually all "diverse" board members at Fortune companies as well as executives at the director, VP and C-level.

We have
been building our database of 30,000 women and minority executives at Fortune 1000-class companies since 1994.

Used by the national search firms, leading boutique diversity recruiters and Fortune companies, Shattering The Glass Ceiling has helped to fill more than 40 board seats and scores of executive positions at Fortune companies since 1994. Our information is highly organized and constantly groomed to provide the most useful recruiting tool available in this market. Our customers include ABC Media Networks, Dell, First Data Corp., Google, Johnson & Johnson, MetLife, Microsoft, Starwood Hotels, Target and Time Warner.

Our online service and directories provide a fast and powerful system for quickly identifying the talent you seek, by function, rank and specific industry segment.

Our data is generated by our in-house research group which classifies, dates and hand-enters every entry. People are identified from a wide array of public sources including hundreds of magazines and journals, IEEE abstracts, press releases, SEC filings, web sites and internet search programs. As records age they are automatically reviewed and re-verified by telephone.

Microquest Directory: 
People In High Technology



The Microquest Directory has been used to place more than 40 women and minority executives on Fortune boards since being introduced in 1994,

Having identified virtually every woman and minority board member in the Fortune 1000, Microquest is the natural tool to use for any board-level search where diversity is a consideration.

The Microquest Directory was  used as the key resource by the Washington DC-based Executive Leadership Council in its last major study of African Americans on boards of directors of Fortune 500 companies. The ELC is the preeminent  organization of senior African American executives in Fortune 500 companies.   

[See more about the ELC and Microquest

The Microquest Directory has also been used to place hundreds of women and minority executives into senior positions with major Fortune companies at the C-level, VP-level and director-level. Corporations and search firms have come to rely on Microquest to source great diversity candidates.


Section One: Rosters
Section One features rosters by company with address, phone, website, revenue, segment, MQC ranking, Fortune ranking, brief product description and a roster of the women and minority executives at the company. 

Each name is followed by the date of entry or last review.

Section Two: Function Lists
The Function Lists present people organized by their functional role:

  • Board Directors

  • General Management
  • Human Resources

Each name is followed by an ethnicity symbol, title, company, phone number and state.

They may even be used as a Call Sheet.
