Women make up a very small percentage of all CEOs. But in Silicon Valley, it's even lower.

University of California-Davis just released new research showing how acute the discrepancy is. Its Study of California Women Business Leaders looked at the state's top 400 companies and found that tech companies have some of the lowest percentages of women directors and executives (via the New York Times).

We recently heard Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg talk about why more women aren't making it in Silicon Valley. She's living proof of one of the study's findings: that tech companies usually only look at top executives from other tech companies to fill high-level jobs, instead of conducting a broader search.

Right now Cisco, Google and Oracle have two women directors, and Apple has one.
