Pretty sure that close up shot of the person holding a "chief exec officer" sign is a woman? She comes before Barbie :)
Google Images does not "pick and choose" which images show up where; it is based on what is available and most "popular". Male CEOs far outnumber female CEOs currently; I'm not saying that it's right, but that's the case! The first comment also has a point: this will equally be the case for female-dominated jobs.
