Vice President of Human Resources for the Cable Bahamas Group, Mrs. Beverly Saunders said, “Cable Bahamas has distinguished itself as a company where women are not just able, but empowered to dominate in the fields of engineering and technology. In the year 2016 none of our senior executive roles were occupied by womenand to date we have seven women at the rank of Vice President who are leading major business divisions. This means that more than half of the key executives in the Cable Bahamas Group are women. We are extremely pleased to witness the positive trend of women responsible for critical areas of our business  and  are hoping to build a culture where women are inspired and equipped to lead in the fields of engineering and technology.”
