Bruner's reaction-immediately identifying herself as the one and only non-male Director, instead of letting the CEO acknowledge the company's lack of diversity-felt strange. (MDU) has more females on its board (25% of its directors are female) than Brocade. From my perspective, having only one female on an entire Board is not cause for happiness or active disclosure. However, when the only female on a company's Board happily raises her hand to demonstrate diversity, it's hard not to think that the corporate culture is irretrievably monolithic. She received her MBA from Santa Clara University, my alma mater, and Santa Clara University strives to produce ethical, well-rounded graduates. When I mentioned Brocade's appearance of having a 100% native-born Caucasian male executive team, the one and only female on the Board of Directors, Judy Bruner, raised her hand with a smile.
