I really dislike the fake and pretentious "politically correct" style that refers to anonymous people in typically male-dominated occupations (in this case, management) with feminine grammatical person (she), to "balance" things. It is simply dishonest and implies to me that the professional honesty of the speaker is, at least, questionnable.

In Spanish, for example, "ellos" can refer to "them (male)", "them (mixed or indetermine gender)", or "them (inanimate objects)"
