Actually, the article found out pretty well why they aren't getting it: "And yet while only 15 percent of the male population is at least six feet tall, 58 percent of all corporate CEOs are."
Asians are not as tall as other ethnic groups, so are naturally at a disadvantage here. Only 3% of CEOs are 5'7" or less, which is the median height of an Asian-American male. 95th percentile height of Asian-Americans is 5'11.4" or thereabouts (source: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_03/sr03_039.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_03/sr03_039.pdf ).
