Carolyn McCall (CEO Easyjet) Angela Ahrendts ( CEO Burberry)
For my first post, my thanks to Elisabeth Morris for a link to a roundtable discussion hosted by the Financial Times on the anniversary of the Davies Report on women's representation at senior levels in major organizations (this complements the annual Sex and Power Reports produced by the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission). Lord (Mervyn) Davies holds the quite reasonable view that the current situation is unjustifiable. UK Business overall achieved around 10% a year ago, with the FTSE 100 improving from 12.2 to 15% this year. Yet despite this positive trend, there is less encouraging news from the FTSE 250 and signs that Davies target of 25% by 2015 could be a serious challenge. No surprise there for readers of the Female Footsie Report produced by Susan Vinnicombe and colleagues at Cranfield annually. The authors discuss the latest one in a video clip on the site. And here's a very interesting report from Bloomberg Markets with interviews with female CEOs and international comparisons called Shaking up the Old Boys Club
