Google's management team includes six women, making it one of the most gender-equal executive teams in tech.

Fortune 100 companies have never been great at putting women in charge, and tech companies aren't an exception — only three of the top 10 US tech companies have women at the helm.

And while Google has a male CEO in Sundar Pichai and a male chief executive at its parent company, Alphabet, it's made strides when it comes to women in leadership roles: Women make up nearly half of Google's management team (46% to be exact).

While it's not a perfect 50-50 split — there are six women and seven men — it's more equal than any other top tech company's executive team.

Of Apple's 11 top execs, only one is a woman: Angela Ahrendts, senior vice president of retail. Microsoft does a bit better with three female execs out of 15, and IBM has four women out of 21 execs, plus a female CEO in Ginny Rometty. While Intel has the same number of women Google does, it also has 22 male executives.

But it's Google that has the most gender equality among its leadership team. Take a look:
