  • Board Quarterly
    BOARD QUARTERLY A Review of Appointments to the FTSE 100 & FTSE 250 Boards Q1 2019 January to March 2019 Summary This first report for 2019 follows our analysis of the FTSE 350 board appointments in 2018 which we published in February. In that report, we pointed to a huge gap in the gender diversity achievements at the executive director level. We showed clearly that women now have more say in governance of the largest companies, but men still dominate the execution. That has not changed so far in 2019, and we didn’t expect that it would. Creating a more balanced profile in the executive director ranks with more female talent will require a determined and consistent focus at multiple levels, far beyond the effort that brought a better balance into the non-executive director ranks. In the first quarter of 2019, there were 110 appointments the boards of the FTSE 350 listed companies. This does not include “internal” moves amongst the non-executive directors, such as where one of the current board members is appointed as Senior Independent Director, but it does include all executive director appointments such as where the current CFO is appointed to the board. The 110 new appointments include 29 executive directors, generally CEOs and CFOs, and 81 non- executive directors. Only 4 (13.8%) of those executive director appointments were female. Amongst the 81 non-executive appointments however, 39 (48.1%) were female. We can break this down between the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 appointments as follows: • Amongst the FTSE 100 companies, there were 10 (1 woman, 9 men) executive director appointments and 28 (14 women, 14 men) non-executive appointments.
